Introduction
 It is important for all managers to be
tech savvy today when all businesses are driven by technology. The key to
success for business managers is how effectively they use technology for
improving efficiency, cutting cost and providing innovative services to both
internal and external customers. Today a manager needs to know not only about
the technology and its application in business, but also how to pull the right
strings to successfully steer the technology/ERP implementations in his or her
department. The manager needs to successfully manage the people and their
behaviour under the change created by IT. It is the manager who has all the
right and wrong strings in the hands. You do not need to go far to hear stories
of ERP failures.
Whatever
be their functional specialization, this course brings to the budding managers
just that what they need to know to become effective managers in their chosen
field. After all, no business or department is run without IT making a
significant contribution.
This
course not only makes you proficient in understanding automated business
processes using ERP, but also makes you aware of the technological,
organizational, behavioural and psychological issues in making ERP a success,
and thereby ensure your own success and growth in organizations.
The
course will consist of Lectures, discussions and exercises.

About Prem Kamble
premkamble.com
 Prem Kamble is a
Management and IT Consultant. He
is an expert in People, Processes and Technology Last
he was Vice President and Head of Global Software Infrastructure for
Sutherland, a multinational BPO. He has been a CIO for over 20 years in
manufacturing and service companies and also worked as Software Delivery Head
in SEI CMM Level 5 companies.
He has a
bachelor’s degree in Engineering from IIT, Bombay and post-graduate degree in
Management from IIM, Calcutta. He has passed Advanced Management course called
"Energo Cybernetic Strategy” (EKS) with flying colours from a German
Institute. He has also attended self-development programs like Est, Forum,
Advanced Course, SELP (Self Expression & Leadership Program), etc.
organised by Landmark Education Foundation, USA which have helped him to
develop a broader outlook and a different way of thinking.
As
Software Delivery Head in DSQ, he had a record breaking performance of
delivering all projects on time, to-spec and to the utmost delight of the
customer. His other achievements were highest repeat orders and highest
resource utilisation. As Head of IT in companies, he
has been extremely successful in developing and implementing computerized
systems in the toughest of situations. He attributes these successes to his
close understanding of the Managers' expectations and fears, and an equally
good 'finger-on-the-pulse' of the technology folks to motivate them to give
their best.
Apart from a very strong technology background from
IIT, he is a very practical, people oriented and process oriented manager with
eyes firmly on business benefits. He has been a student throughout his career
and has been taking notes on all aspects of the work that he did. These notes
have been the basis of his analysis, thinking and writings in his articles and
blogs. His writings on diverse topics like technology, management, psychology
and spirituality show very deep, intuitive and original thinking. . He brings
the same originality to his seminars and workshops, which bring new insights
straight based on deep analysis of experiences on ground zero, not based on
books and journals.
 He has published articles on InfoTech
management in the country's leading magazines. Most of the articles display an
'out-of-the-box' thinking and a knack to see what is not so obvious. He has
also written on psychology and spirituality. He has authored a book titled “God
in Two Minutes”, which is a “Scientific” analysis of God and Religion. Though
these areas of IT Management, Psychology and Spirituality may seem to be poles
apart, Prem believes that they are actually very closely related - both are a
study into the human psychology of change. You can find most of his articles on
the net by searching on “Prem Kamble” or “Mentomatics”, a word he has coined.
Google search on “Mentomatics” shows references only to his work.
