The Sri Lanka Foundation (SLF) is expanding its services to a wider mandate as a centre for leadership, education and training. The Business and Enterprise Development Unit is one of the main arms of SLF which is striving to establish fully fledged business and management studies by itself and in collaboration with local and international strategic partners.
The corporate planning initiative is one of the most sought after services from the SLF by many business and government entities. At present more than 15 institutions have obtained this service and the SLF is pleased to extend this service to organisations, as a task of national importance in establishing good governance in these institutions. Among other key services of the unit undertaking audits, business consultancy, training need analysis etc are the most demanded services.
The National Lotteries Board (NLB) is committed to the development of local talent and aims at taking a holistic approach to develop competencies of the organisation’s human resources. SLF intends to bring multiple experiences to the entire HR value chain on the basis of the key HR decisions. HR competencies are the DNA for delivering core values of the organisation to the stakeholders, whilst central to the development of people’s capabilities and sustaining strategic market competitiveness.
SLF business and enterprise development practices have been applied to a number of local institutions for their corporate business development. Through this assignment, NLB is expecting to work out a strategic and holistic benchmark approach to human resource management and increase the productivity of the organisation. This HR audit covered the analysis of the current HR value chain and the NLB is planning to execute the recommendations based on key findings.
SLF Chairman Professor Ranjith Bandara and NLB Chairman Chaminda Athuluwage exchange the report at NLB. Consultant Academic Affairs Samantha Rathnayake, Senior Lecturer & Head BEDU-SLF Dilhan Goonathilake and other officials from both institutions took part for the occasion.
