Consulting Seminar 'Crucible 2008' Held at IIM Kozhikode

Crucible, the Annual Consulting Seminar of the Indian Institute of Management, Kozhikode, was held on the 13th of December 2008 at the institute's scenic campus in Kozhikode (Calicut), Kerala. The central theme of this year's seminar was 'Challenges in the Emerging Markets'
with specific focus on India, China, other South East Asian countries and the Middle East.

The on-going financial crisis has thrown the global economy into turmoil. In these turbulent times, the world is looking towards the emerging economies to provide engines for growth and recovery. These markets have also grown out of their roles, from the early days of being low-cost outsourcing locations into strategic centres for innovation and consumption. Crucible, in its third edition, took a close look at these and other issues affecting consulting in emerging markets.

The speakers for this year's edition of Crucible have had several years of experience in the areas of Strategy and Consulting, occupying top decision making positions in their organizations, and are thought leaders driving change in this dynamic industry. Amongst them were Mr. Thomas Kuruvilla, the Managing Director - Asia Pac of Arthur D. Little, Mr. Harish H. V., Partner - National Management of Grant Thornton, and Mr. Amit Kumar, Country Head (India) of Grail Research (a member of Monitor Group).

The proceedings of Crucible 2008 were set in motion with the eminent dignitaries lighting the traditional lamp. Delivering the inaugural address, Dr. P. R. Bhat, Professor, IIM Kozhikode, appreciated the organizers of the seminar and expressed his views on the relevance of the topic. He noted that today India, China and the Middle-East have become important contributors to the world trade unlike earlier times when these were compared unfavorably with the more developed economies. He finished by pointing out to the progress made by IIM Kozhikode as an institute of excellence in just over one decade of its existence and said that IIM-K is on track of launching a Executive PGP Program soon.

Mr. Thomas Kuruvilla, MD-Asia Pacific of Arthur D Little, delivered the keynote address. He shared some key insights from his wide experience of the counsulting profession, gained working across a wide geography as Middle-East, Singapore, India and China. He spoke about the critical differences across these markets and also the expectations of clients in these specific markets. He appreciated the trust-based business environment of the Middle-East and said that this allows high flexibility in the various consulting assignments.
