ASIRT commenced FY 2014-15 with a bang, rolling out the "Smart to Smarter" Series, a 6-month CEO coaching programme that commenced on ASIRT Techday April, 2014 with a session on "Core Principles". Smart to Smarter is a 6-month training programme in association with Parichay Brand Consultants; with brand guru Suneel Agarwal of "T with Suneel" fame having promised to conduct all the seminar sessions himself.
Not surprisingly thus, enthusiasm from the ASIRT members surpassed all the previous high scores. And brand guru rocked, starting the series with workshop on "Core Principles", clearing many perceptions and myths of building and running business and forcing everyone to sit back and stirring introspection. What was to be a 90-minute session extended to well over 2 hours, and with members in a trance as pied piper Suneel Agarwal presented with panache peppered with humour, even hard-hitting jabs at times as he responded to members' euphoria with the same enthusiasm.
The first in this series of "Smart to Smarter" programme focussed on "Core Principles". Suneel aptly drilled in that success of any enterprise lies in the core, the principles that guide the business and propel it towards higher goals. His hard-hitting presentation proved beyond doubt how these time-tested core principles do not readily change with market forces. They form the bedrock to a stable enterprise.
This is the first of six sessions to be followed by five such sessions, encapsulated version of Suneel's CEO coaching and consulting programme. The next sessions will be on Strategy and Road Map, Communication, No Cost Branding, Sales & Marketing, and Customer Management. ASIRT has invested momentous efforts in the betterment of IT business ecosystem now topping it with the cherry of this series that is totally free for members.
