Feb 15, 2013 (SLBO) - The Council for Business with Britain (CBB) organized a luncheon meeting and a presentation with Sir Paul Judge on Thursday, February 7th, 2013 at Hilton Colombo Residence.
Sir Paul was visiting Sri Lanka on the invitation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to support the Government of Sri Lanka's priority of increasing business management training for the youth.
Sharing his views on globalization, culture, management and entrepreneurship, he stressed the importance of getting business professionals to teach in business institutions compared to lecturers which is the usual practice. Responding to a question raised by a participant Sir Paul said that actual understanding of business and entrepreneurship can be greatly improved in Sri Lanka by including more business related subjects in school curriculums. He also shared quite a few inspirational and motivational quotes with the participants.
