L' Attitude 2013

Theme: Business Darwinism -‘Be distinct or extinct’.

The idea of business evolution is natural; businesses in keeping with Darwinian principles of ‘Being distinct or extinct’ either beat the competition, or find themselves beaten. Many follow, but only a few lead. Many compete for survival, but few compete for excellence. We constantly strive to be seen, heard, and be deemed relevant. The future of business comes down to one word - DISTINCTION. Business Darwinism is real, and is acquiring admission to the managerial psyche in several forms; but the question is - are we ready?

Keeping this concept in mind, Great Lakes organized its annual fest L’Attitude 13°05’ on January 29 & 30, 2013.The event started with the announcement of opening of L’Attitude by Dr. Bala V. Balachandran, Founder & Dean – Great Lakes Institute of Management. He also delivered the welcome address where he spoke about the theme of the event – ‘Be Distinct or Be Extinct’. Dr. Bala spoke about the competitive business scenario today and how not keeping up with innovative business models and changes can ruin a business. He added that businesses which do not keep up with better governance and smaller environmental foot prints would be forced to extinction.

The chief guests of the events included Shri Nitin Paranjpe, CEO – Hindustan Unilever Limited and Shri Lakshmi Narayanan, Vice Chairman – Cognizant Technology Solutions Limited. In his special address, Shri. Nitin Paranjpe spoke on the need for the companies to come up with business models that can give back to the society rather than just concentrating on maximizing the returns. “Trust and confidence in business are at an all-time low today,” he noted and that is ironic because “if ever there was a time when job creation was imperative, this is it.”

Mr. Paranjpe also emphasized on the significance of Moral Quotient of today’s managers. He said, “Managers today are recruited not just for their IQ (Intelligence Quotient) or EQ (Emotional Quotient), but also for their Moral Quotient (MQ).

Lakshmi Narayanan, founder and Vice-Chairman of Cognizant Technology Solutions, said that being socially conscious, tolerant and able to interact with everyone were the qualities that he looked for in today’s students aspiring to be managers. He added, “Today, consumers and the society is much more alert and well-informed, any effort to exploit them will throw you out of the business in no time.”

The Second day of the event had a CEO Colloquium which included a lecture by Shri Shanker Annaswamy, Managing Director, IBM India Private Limited. Dr. S.
