Dear Colleagues, Writing to you today to share an update on council activities. First, the India Council on Competitiveness is participating in the Annual Meeting of the GFCC under the 2014 Global Innovation Summit. It is being held at Banff, Canada on December 12-13, 2014. The council will be interacting with Don Scott, Alberta’s Minister of Innovation and Advanced Education to discuss economic development best practices, successes and challenges, and encourage increased engagement between Alberta and India for mutual economic benefit. Secondly we have learning sessions being conducted in association with ‘Thinkers’. The first among the series was held on December 8, 2014 with Navi Radjou. He delivered a talk on “How to profit from the global ingenuity economy?.” He discussed how new technologies (mobility, social media, Internet of Things, 3D printing) and groundswell socio-economic movements (e.g., sharing and circular economy, maker movement) are dramatically lowering the cost of innovation worldwide. Using real-life case studies, he showed how companies could reinvent their strategy, culture, and leadership to succeed in the emerging global ingenuity economy. The forthcoming thought leadership session would be organized on January 6, 2015 with Stuart L. Hart – a leading authority on the implications of environment and poverty for business strategy. The deliberations are a step forward to work together for the overarching goal and to stay strong by being competitive. We at the council are extremely overwhelmed to work towards building the momentum for enhancing prosperity of the country by amplifying the voices of the leaders in a positive direction. In addition, your support synergizes the agenda and takes us one step forward to our goal. In case you want to become an active participant of the ongoing discussions, you can explore the India Council on Competitiveness memberships.
