Dr Kanesh Rajah, Director, London Centre for Professional and Executive Development, Executive Director Klondyke Management Consultants and Director Centre for Entrepreneurship, University of Greenwich Business School conducted the workshops.
Khaled said the DCCI always had given thrust for developing capital and had been organising long and short term training programmes throughout the year by the DCCI Training Institute (DBI).
He said that the DBI had won World Chambers Competition Award- 2007 for best skill development this year. He said creativity was a big capital and to avoid risk in any business SMEs should have required access to education and information.
In the first workshop, 'Business Creativity in Managerial and Organisational Performance Improvement', Kanesh discussed some of the key challenges faced by SMEs and micro-entrepreneurship.
He presented some fundamental facts and then pointed out the misunderstanding that prevented growth and wealth creation.
He discussed about how Bangladeshi SMEs can develop into regional and international business and why did some of our SMEs always remain local.
Appropriate cases were introduced to demonstrate to entrepreneurs that some of the factors that affected big companies were also acting as barriers to growth for SMEs.
He also discussed how SMEs could be shown that leadership, which he described as 'servant leadership' and paved the way for an SME to become a mighty corporation.
In the second workshop on '21st Century organisations: Unleashing Organisational Creativity for Innovation and Strategic Growth', Kanesh presented new ideas from a global perspective to senior managers who are in strategic roles.
He presented important ideas from creativity and innovation including intellectual property, opportunity finding and the growth of intangible assets at the core.
Scenarios of the new order for business growth were discussed. He discussed about understanding the limitations of the SMEs and the need to gain new knowledge, skills and networks.
Seventy participants including SME and large entrepreneurs, professionals, policy makers, academicians, banker and journalists took part in the two workshops.
