INSEE Cement opens its first executive leadership programme

Insee Cement in Sri Lanka recently joined up with the country's Postgraduate Institute of Management (PIM), to launch its first Executive Leadership Development Programme (ELDP).

The inauguration was held at the PIM education buildings, attended by the CEO and Directors of Insee Cement and PIM, faculty members of PIM and the selected participants of Insee Academy’s ELDP.

The objective of the ELDP programme is to transform Insee Cement’s functional leaders into business leaders. This meaningful objective will be achieved by moving the team of managers from mastery in their own individual functional areas to broader multi-dimensional roles taking them through a structured ‘certification’ programme.

The 25 participants in the inaugural team of ELDP are currently performing in mid-level managerial roles representing different functions at Insee Cement.

"This is another initiative which confirms the continuous commitment of Insee Cement in developing our people. The programme provides an opportunity for the participants not only to apply their learning at work but more importantly, give something back to the workplace, resulting in both individual and organisational growth," said Insee Cement CEO, Nandana Ekanayake, who was the chief guest at the launch.

PIM Director, Professor Ajantha Dharmasiri, speaking at the launch, said: "We are truly proud and honoured to partner with Insee Cement in adding value to the progression of their employees. This programme has been carefully developed to ensure it benefits the participants and motivates them to reach their full potential, undoubtedly inspiring them to become successful leaders in their own spheres."

With the aim of developing a ‘competent workforce’, Insee Cement has set up a fully-structured accreditation and certification system through Insee Academy in partnership with both local and foreign institutions in executive education.
