The park got operational on 18th April. This humungous task would have not been possible without the support of the VCG team. They have been working on this project for almost last 9 months. I Thank them all for wonderful job done and all the support extended to AEL team and being understanding all the way. I specially thank them for their professional approach. Also the Trainers, all were fantastic; we always had good comments about them.

Thank you for your support and cooperation for making the “Ingenium – Talent Development Centre” a success. On behalf of Talent Management Committee, let me compliment and profoundly thank VCG Consulting Group for their splendid efforts and to partner with Allcargo Logistics to identify, develop and retain talent.

It’s an excellent job done by Mr.Jayaram Shetty and Team VCG along with our HR team. It’s a near perfect summary report presented by VCG Team and this will help us developing high potential candidates in Project and equipment division in AllCargo Logistics.

We must appreciate the process adopted by you as it was need based and testing the leadership qualities.

“ We had a peculiar problem – we waned to select the best local people from Gujarat for our shop floor operations, but then, they hadn’t even seen automobile manufacturing. We also had the added task of bringing the best international manufacturing systems & procedures in India, comparable to any GM plant worldwide.

Unfortunately, the required expertise of running an Assessment Centre (AC) of this nature was just not available even in the premier B schools in the country & we’re on the verge of going abroad to get the experts. Then we met the team of Dr. S Pandey & Prof. Jayaram Shetty who developed a very good AC as per our requirements. We screened/ assessed more then 21,000 candidates to select about 600 Team Members who went on to exceed the standards for any start-up & operations in GM Corporation.”

“ I first came to learn about principles, processes & applications of Assessment Centre (AC) methodology from a program conducted at IIT Mumbai where Mr. Jayaram Shetty was the principal faculty. Since then, I had the opportunities to use AC process to map critical potential gaps among people identified to grow to organizational leadership & functional leadership positions. I have found that success of the ACs depend upon:

• Clarity about the objective of the AC
• Proper Identification & definition of the potential parameters
• In-depth training of assessors in the assessment techniques
• Selection of appropriate simulation exercises which will enable assessment of specific parameters
• Overall ambience & most importantly effective communication of context of the AC to the participating managers.

In each of the above phases, Jayaram had supported us with his in-depth, practical knowledge of AC methodology. I am very happy that we had set up the AC for development, facilitated by Jayaram.”
