As the Sri Lankan business landscape undergoes a period of profound transition, the Chamber of Lankan Entrepreneurs (COYLE) announces the return of Harvard Business School (HBS) Professor Boris Groysberg for an exclusive three-day executive program this February. Targeted specifically at CEOs, Board Directors, and Senior Management, this masterclass arrives at a critical juncture for the national economy. This is far more than a traditional seminar; it is a high-intensity, transformative, and hands-on immersion into the strategies required to lead through volatility and emerge with a definitive competitive edge.
Professor Groysberg, a global authority on organisational behaviour and the “portability of talent,” will guide participants through a curriculum specifically designed for the complexities of the current market. The program centres on the vital pillars of ‘Team Cohesion’ and ‘Strategic Foresight’, enabling leaders to build unified executive teams capable of anticipating market shifts before they occur. It further addresses the urgent need for leadership resilience and people management, providing the tactical blueprints necessary to mitigate “brain drain” and keep high-performers anchored during economic fluctuations. Moving beyond incremental change, the sessions will also challenge leaders to embrace Innovation and Radical Transformation to fundamentally reinvent their business models for a globalised economy.
The program distinguishes itself through the signature Harvard Case Study Method, a rigorous and interactive pedagogical approach that forces leaders to step into the shoes of global decision-makers. Participants will move beyond passive listening to analyse real-world crises and debate solutions, ensuring they leave with an actionable toolkit rather than just theoretical notes.
COYLE’s Niral Kadawatharatchie said: “This is a rare opportunity to engage with a global authority whose past programs have sold out rapidly due to the immediate, practical nature of the insights provided. In an environment where retaining talent and driving change is the primary challenge, this masterclass provides the data-backed strategies Sri Lankan leaders need to win.”
Following the phenomenal success of the 2024 masterclass which saw over 300 C-suite leaders successfully integrate these strategic learnings into their corporate structures, demand for the upcoming session is expected to be exceptionally high. To ensure the depth of engagement and high-level interaction required by the Harvard method, seats are strictly limited. Leaders seeking to future-proof their organisations and master the science of talent performance are encouraged to secure their participation immediately.
