			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After the grand success of the first edition of SubHub in July 2011, Delhi and NCR Chapter of National HRD Network is pleased to bring another SubHub to your neighbourhood that will help you reach out to other HR professionals with much greater ease and convenience.</p>
<p>Come, be a part of a discussion forum that&#8217;s closer to your office or your home.</p>
<p>In our quest to introduce these platforms for spreading awareness about topical HR issues, enable HR professionals all across the Delhi &amp; NCR region reach out to discussion forums, and also to provide logistically convenient venues spread across the map of the region, we bring to you &#8220;SubHubs&#8221; &#8211; our way of reaching out to you. We realize that, at times, you&#8217;d just want a platform where you can share your thoughts in an environment that provides closer and more intimate interaction with seasoned HR professionals; a venue that does not warrant travelling the length (or breadth) of the city; and a discussion on issues that you might be facing at the workplace, and probably walk away wiser and more ready to take a crack at the ticklish HR issues &#8211; we believe that some of you will derive more value out of a small group interaction.</p>
<p>The Delhi Chapter is proud to present a platform that makes it possible for you to spend quality time with seasoned HR professionals, where you will be able to spend the better half of the one-and-a-half hour event interacting on issues that are close to your heart. Issues that are troubling you, things that you want to introduce in your organization, but want some guidance on &#8211; there is nothing better than experience to guide you. And the speaker will pack experience in abundance.</p>
<p>For New Members, the details are as under:-</p>
<p><strong>What will happen:</strong></p>
<p>We will invite 1 or 2 seasoned HR professionals to share their experience in this exciting field of HR. We will also invite participants in groups of 20 or 30 or 40, depending on the infrastructure availability. The emphasis will be on tackling live issues that the participants want to discuss and find solutions for.</p>
<p><strong>Where will it happen:</strong></p>
<p>At a place near you &#8211; we are in the process of identifying 10-12 venues across the NCR region &#8211; Delhi/Gurgaon/Noida/Greater Noida/Faridabad.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Leadership Differentiator &#8211; Igniting Ideas &amp; Creating Success</strong><br />
On January 31, 2012<br />
Venue: Mahindra Satyam Learning World<br />
HitecCity, Hyderabad, India.</p>
<p><strong>Leadership Differentiator</strong></p>
<p>NHRD Leadership Conclave 2012 coincides with NHRD network&#8217;s 25th anniversary celebrations. The daylong event will give participants and speakers a chance to engage, interact and network with one another.<br />
This Conference is not just for HR Professionals but for all those leaders who recognize that they are the differentiators for the organisation. Whether you lead a business or a government, there is tremendous pressure to deliver short-term results and quick fixes, without losing sight of the longer horizon and all of the uncertainty it brings. Find ways to manage for the long term and not simply react to the quarterly business cycle. Seek ways to create an optimistic corporate climate that empowers and enables employees.</p>
<p>Our endeavour is to provide insights into how a leader can systematically create a business that is better at satisfying customers, is more effective at using its human resources and is more rewarding to its owners. Hence we have designed this conference to address the needs of all those who own and champion business success.</p>
<p>Given this context, National HRD Network, Hyderabad chapter is organizing a 1-day conference to discuss the challenges of leaders of the new age. The conference will deliberate on the following topics: </p>
<p>1. What are the leadership challenges of the organizations in the future?<br />
2. Rebuilding a global organisation &amp; managing change – the learnings from Mahindra Satyam<br />
3. We believe Constant change calls for adaptive organisations and leaders who are able to embrace a high level of uncertainty and make swift and wise deviations from the plan as they go along – How do you build an adaptive organisation and accelerate change?<br />
4. We believe it is importance for leaders to appreciate the importance of right fit – social fit along with business.</p>
<p><strong>What is it to prepare a business case ?</strong></p>
<p>5. We at NHRD believe most of the tangible advantages of the past have become commoditized; creativity has become the currency of success. How to foster innovation and learning in the new age organizations?<br />
6. Many organizations indicate that they are concerned about current leadership bench strength or their ability to develop the leadership talent required to support the company&#8217;s future growth objectives. How to build a leadership pipeline?</p>
<p><strong>Methodology</strong></p>
<p>Senior leaders from the Industry will share their thoughts, ideas and opinions leading to a highly interactive discussion culminating into a tremendous learning experience for all.  Case studies and panel discussions will help all the participants to engage in collective thinking and learning. It is expected that the conference would provide leaders of the new age organizations the right direction to effectively navigate the future.</p>
<p>*Igniting Ideas – through interaction<br />
with successful leaders and organisations<br />
*Provide platform for the proliferation of best &amp; next practices in Leadership<br />
*Provide an opportunity to connect with community and bond with others<br />

<p>The National HRD Network is an association of professionals committed to promoting the HRD movement in the country and enhancing the capability of human resource professionals in order to enable them to make an impactful contribution to enhancing competitiveness and creating value for society. Towards this end, National HRD Network is committed to the development of human resources through education, training, research and experience sharing.

Signatories to the MOA included Dr.T V Rao, Fr.E Abraham, Dr.K K Verma, Dr.Anil Khandelwal, Dr.D M Pestonjee, Mr.G K Ghosh, Dr.Kakoli Saha and Mr. J K Parikh. The Network was registered as a Society and a   Trust on December 6, 1986 at Ahmedabad.<br />

<p>Steve Jobs, the visionary co-founder and longtime leader of Apple, has passed away at the age of 56.<br />
To honor his memory, Apple.com now displays a full-page tribute to the man that helped reinvent computing, entertainment and mobile. Apple has also posted a short letter. It reads as follows:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Apple is also asking for those who would like to share their thoughts or condolences to email remembersteve@apple.com.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6n5gRQuetg">Steve Jobs\&#8217; 2005 Stanford Commencement Address</a><br />
<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6SwxU4UGuF8" frameborder="0" width="420" height="315"></iframe></p>
<p>&#8220;Remembering that I&#8217;ll be dead soon is the most important tool I&#8217;ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.&#8221;</p>
<p>Drawing from some of the most pivotal points in his life, Steve Jobs, chief executive officer and co-founder of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, urged graduates to pursue their dreams and see the opportunities in life&#8217;s setbacks &#8212; including death itself &#8212; at the university&#8217;s 114th Commencement on June 12, 2005.</p>
