choose between the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

The story affects humans the way they perceive it."

Mr Sanjay Sharma, Director, Healin Medical

the demonetization impacted 95% of society even

though the problem lay in just 5% of society.

Line, accepted that the media narratives play a vital

role on how the normal public perceives policy

moves. She tried to draw the impact created by

various media houses which came up with digital

financial literacy campaigns which eased the stress

among people. "People are happy and did not resort

to riots, thinking that black marketeers in the society

are suffering due to demonetization."

This last discussion brought the enlightening

conference to a close. The conference thus brought

experiences and it brings in great business value

from those customers. A fully engaged customer

can be helpful in referring more leads. B2B is a

time tested customer engagement strategy and it

progresses from partnership. He finally

concluded by mentioning qualitative growth in

engagement bonding results in improved

revenues and profits. Conflict resolution builds

trust and enhances engagement with customers

new ways of capturing, managing and analyzing

The biggest challenge in customer engagement is to

minimize mismatch between seller and customer.

Customer data and algorithms are evolving to

predict models of engagement. The customer

engagement is a challenge for e-commerce selling

in a digital environment, like Flipkart and

Amazon. Engaging customer is like iceberg and it

is engraved in the vision and sales strategies.

Engagement should be seen as a match of what a

customer expects and what a seller provides. This

connect should be reviewed and continuously

enhanced to bring customer engagement in

enterprise business strategies.

Mr Anil Kastuar, MD & CEO, Rank Consultancy said

CRM is Crazy Relationship Management. Who is my

Memebrs

Delivering the lecture on 'Human Values and

Corporate Ethics in Professional Life, by Sri M

Gopalakrishna, IAS (Retd), observed that the moral

values in life hold great importance from the point of

personal, social and spiritual development. Values,

morals and ethics are inextricably tied together.

Values are what we learn from youth; the 'stuff' we

acquired from our parents and immediate

surroundings.

Sri M Gopalakrishna, IAS (Retd) threw light on

Bhagvath Geeta which emphasises that the values

are the motive power behind purposeful action and

moral values are meant for making the quest to find

the higher self easier. The speaker opined that

unfortunately, many amongst us may find it difficult

to follow values such as truthfulness, honesty,

forgiveness in our lives because we have not

perceived the subtle gains that come to us by

following these values. Or, may be, we are careless

to realize the importance of values in life. Ethics, on

the other hand, are how we actually do behave in the

face of difficult situations that test our moral fiber.

Ethics are the code or principles on which one's
