"No amount of technology,backend systems,processes,innovation or domain expertise will help if people do not support it and so it is critical for companies to invest in their people,said Sam Pitroda,advisor to the Prime Minister on infrastructure,information & innovations.
Addressing a large audience of HR professionals and domain experts at the National Human Resource Development (NHRD) Network Conference 2011 here on Thursday,Pitroda said,Despite the technology advancements and innovations,we still carry a 19th century mindset,20th century processes and 21st century needs.This is a huge mismatch.Our hierarchical and feudal mindsets have to change,create room for leadership that understands virtual space,a leadership that can capitalize on young talent.
Vinita Bali,MD of Britannia Industries,said changes are taking place faster than we can perceive and internalize.We are good at innovation and we create quality products.It is time we thought about people differently and invested in people to help them improve quality and make themselves stand apart as winners.
C Mahalingam,chief people officer at Symphony Services and president of NHRD Networks Bangalore chapter,said the best HR practices have come from the West,but India and other Asian countries are bringing the next set of best practices."
