Transform or Perish - PRCI Conclave theme

Inviting all Communicatiin Professionals to attend the 12th Global Communication Conclave at Pune on March 9 & 10, 2018

Change ain’t no good! Transform we must!

By S Narendra

Former adviser to PMs & Ex Spokesperson, Govt of India

Transform or Perish - the Focus of the 12^th PRCI Global Conclave to be held in Pune in March 2018 is a continuation of PRCI’s attempt to expose the Communication community to the emerging challenges ahead. Last March, we had zeroed in on Disruption. In a modest way, the Conclave hopes to enable fellow professionals to tap the potential for making Communication a dynamic and innovative force and responses.

A recent McKinsey Global Institute report is titled Disruptive Technologies: Advances That Will Transform Life, Businesses And The Global Economy. The advances are coming in a cascade, leaving no aspect of life in any geography untouched. The transformational technological advances demand of every human being, and organisations ,public, private, created for the welfare and progress of the  human beings on this planet, to not just adopt ‘change’ but to transform, to be in the vanguard. Or sadly, left behind.

The dimension of the transformation challenge requires a collaborative global leadership, that has to work with the national leadership, that works with local leadership. Such a leadership has to emerge in several fields, in most cases from within the organisation and its several levels. That is because a new Political-Economy of the Future is being created with or without the consent of the political sovereign powers; not to speak of The Blockchain technology and Bitcoin are worrying examples. No borders and no intermediaries. Uber and Airbnb intruded on this old concept of sovereignty of ‘states’, and in some cases doors were kicked open. The digital challenge operates in a new political and economic ecosystem. If that is the plight of border conscious ‘sovereign’ states, one can only imagine the impact on other less powerful entities.

In an  earlier era, management gurus focused on ‘change management’. Adjusting or adopting and adapting to change meant putting in place processes, a route map towards a destination. There was some time for ‘change’ to be accepted and adopted. It could take place in stages. In the emerging tech world of innovations, the demand is for transforming organisations, its workers, preparing for a journey into an uncharted territory. Whole scale technology -led disruption could arrive without notice. What is demanded of organisations and their leadership in the merging situation are: to be alert, assess the threat as well as the opportunity potential. But in the real world, the challenge is much more complex to face than such a simple formula. Watch this space for more on Transform 0r Perish.

PRCI Global Communication Conclave - Unique Knowledge Forum

Countdown for 12th Global Commn Conclave begins

PUNE, India: With the preparations for the 12^th Global Communication Conclave at Pune on March 9 & 10, 2018 going in full swing, the countdown for the event conducted by Public Relations Council of India (PRCI) has begun.

PRCI - the premier body of PR, media, advertising, HR, marcom professionals and mass communication students and academicians – has altready announced that it will hold the Conclave at the conveniently located venue, All Spice, Shantai Hotel, near Camp, opposite Ashoka Pavilion.

The theme for the Conclave is: TRANSFORM OR PERISH.

Apart from the rapid developments in technology, life around us too is changing fast – faster than the speed of thought. What we think today may not be relevant tomorrow. Some of these rapid developments would need a total transformation, and not a mere change.

PRCI will also present its much sought-after signature awards under the Chanakya series and induct achievers into the PR Hall of Fame. And, we will present the popular PRCI collateral awards – a talent recognition for communication professionals.

PRCI: Headquartered in Bangalore, PRCI has Chapters across close to 30 cities and towns and a dedicated youth wing called Young Communicators Club (YCC) that galvanizes the mass communication students at various universities and colleges, pan-India.

The Conclave is also a unique opportunity for communication and marketing students to listen to mentors, global experts and learn from their experiences.

PRCI and YCC periodically hold a series of knowledge forums in association with media organizations like Press Clubs and universities/colleges.

Daughters’ Day: PRCI celebrates Daughters’ Day on June 1 – the official date of birth of late Indo-US astronaut Kalpana Chawla – to focus attention on girl children’s education. The Council has adopted few girls through various established NGOs to ensure their uninterrupted education till at least SSC, High School.

WCC: PRCI has recently promoted a global platform – World Communicators’ Council (WCC) – with Chapters in UAE and Sri Lanka. Soon, WCC will spread its wings to many other countries, including Australia, UK and the US.

World Communicators’ Day: Realising that we Communication professionals do not have an international day of ours, PRCI initiated World Communicators’ Day to be celebrated on October 28 – the day the world’s first Press Release was shot out by Ivy Lee in the US in 1906. We had a series of events, pan-India, including sessions on the art of press release writing.

Social Communication: In a yet another unique initiative, PRCI launched a Social Communication campaign to deal with issues of concern to the communities around us. Our campaign – Mission Mumbai Local – has been adjudged as the PR Milestone of The Year at America’s PR World Awards. The campaign focused on the plight of suburban train commuters of the island city and the need to improve.

Similarly, the organisation met with great success in our campaign  #IamParsikHill, IamDying as the plundering of the hills on the outskirts of Mumbai has been stopped. The NGT ruled that no quarrying can be done without environment clearances.

The Pune conclave, thus, promises many takeaways, apart from being a good meeting point to share thoughts and ideas to be able to face lurking future challenges.
