Insurance practitioners are set to brainstorm on the topic New Tunes for Lean Times, an encapsulation of the imperatives for the management and control of lean resources for sustainable growth and development.

The topic is the theme for the 2012 international Education Conference of the Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria, CIIN.

Described as the flagship of the CIIN Educational programmes, the annual confab is the gathering of the top echelon practitioners who hold the reins in their respective organisations.

Dr. Wole Adetimehin who spoke at a press briefing said that the conference theme could not be more apt, stating that business governance today had been in the searchlight and that it was becoming increasingly necessary for the managers of business to rethink their roles and responsibilities, in securing the survival of their organizations.

Dr. Adetimehin further said that the CIIN in line with its statutory responsibilities was concerned more than ever to provide the platform for knowledge sharing in the realm of paradigm shifts in the global economy.

Dr. Christohper kolade, Nigeria’s former High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and current Pro-Chancellor of the Pan African University will lead other eminent speakers at the Conference. Dr. Kolade is also the current Chairman of the Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment Programme (SURE-P).
