Rebooting Management: Reimagine and Redesign
The message of The Institute of Chartered Professional Managers of Sri Lanka (CPM Sri Lanka) is always to alert members and Corporate Bodies to the need for the latest cutting edge, advanced revolutionary thinking in management. People and companies are subject to continuous change. Unless managers learn to meet change and harness it for the good of the house in general and for productivity in particular, they will be fighting a losing battle.
Organizations are compelled to get ready for continuous change. This requires shifting focus away from rigid operational systems, processes, and practices that were built for long periods of relative stability. Leaders and managers have an implicit responsibility to radically change their management style in line with changing demands. It is not the case in every institution.
To make a lasting change we must properly prepare before rebooting our management style. Do you ever wish management practice had a reboot button like a computer where you can shut it down and restart it if something goes wrong? Rebooting our practice, similarly, does not mean closing the door on our practice or selling it and moving to a new domain just to get a change. This thought may have crossed our minds from time to time, and some practitioners have gone ahead and done just that. Instead of a complete “restart” reboot, maybe what you are looking for is a “revive or give fresh impetus” type of reboot.
The 2023 CPM International Management Conference intended to explore this domain. It invited corporates to reboot the management practices and move towards reimagining and redesigning for better outputs and outcomes.
