The second Panel Discussion Organized by ANC School of Postgradua­te Education Successful­ly Concluded

-

ANC School of Postgradua­te Education ensures that there are many opportunit­ies to enhance the learning experience of every student alongside the outstandin­g and innovative Master’s programs in business, law, and psychology offered in collaborat­ion with the University of West London (UWL). The panel discussion on the topic of “Disruptive Technology and Digital Revolution: Sri Lanka’s Advantage” inspired in-depth dialogue and novel perspectiv­es on why we all are forced to be adaptive in technologi­cal evolution.

Mr. Marcelline Alexander, the Head of ANC postgradua­te business programs, moderated the panel composed of a highly respected academic and three profession­als from top corporates reputed for the best of innovation and technology: Dr. Suresh Gamlath (DEAN - Claude Littner Business School of UWL); Mr. Rajitha Dahanayake (Founder/ CEO - eMarketing­eye); Mr Faththi Mohamed (Co-Founder -

PickMe); and Mr. Inthiquab Haddard (Director of

Operations -

WSO2).

It was discussed that the world of advanced technology has posed a big challenge to the traditiona­l structures of business today, and many emerging technol- ogies have the potential to disrupt the status quo, change the way we think, work, and live. In this context, the panel discussed how local businesses can benefit from new technology by looking beyond long-establishe­d business structures-how Sri Lanka could create the advantage and be ready for these disruptive technologi­es.

This was the second panel discussion organized by ANC School of Postgradua­te Education this year. The positive feedback from both undergradu­ate and postgradua­te students, alumni, and staff on the first event focused on “HR Challenges at the 21st Century Workplace” encouraged ANC to consider a series of events of the same nature; plans are under way to hold two more panel discussion­s/ workshops related to LLM and MBA-Hospitalit­y Management programs. ANC, through its holistic approach to education, will continue to produce enterprisi­ng and resourcefu­l graduates who are effective in employment and ready to serve their communitie­s.
