What do leaders need to know to lead effectively in the knowledge economy? What issues are keeping top executives up at night now and do so in future?

Former Editor and Managing Director of Harvard Business Review for over 6 years and a leadership expert Mr Thomas A Stewart believes he has the answer for these waxing questions. Addressing a seminar titled 'The Leader's Agenda' in Mumbai on November 13, 2008, Stewart will address the critical challenges for leaders to manage in the new economy.

The seminar will be organized by knowledge management company Innovative Media. India's leading management portal MBAUniverse.com is the Official Management Portal of this seminar.

Known as a pioneer in the area of Knowledge Management and Leadership development, Stewart was also the Editorial Director of Business 2.0 and a member of the Board of Editors of Fortune. In a series of Fortune articles, he pioneered the field of intellectual capital, which led to his groundbreaking book, Intellectual Capital: The New Wealth of Organizations, The Wealth of Knowledge: Intellectual Capital and the Twenty-first Century Organization. Mr Stewart is also a Fellow of the World Economic Forum.

Says Dr M Muneer, CEO and MD, Innovative Media, "Tom Stewart, is one of the celebrated gurus on knowledge management and a long time Harvard Business Review editor and Managing Director. His seminar will be the most exciting event of this year. He is going to discuss the Leaders' Agenda from the crisis point of today and for the future. We are also hosting a dinner roundtable with Tom and industry leaders like Ravi Kant of Tata Motors to discuss the global engineering skills shortage issue."

During the daylong forum, Mr Stewart will show how seemingly vague ideas of "managing knowledge" and "leveraging intellectual capital" can yield results and agenda items that employees, managers, and leaders can do something about--real work, not fancy talk. He will also take intellectual capital and look under the hood, so to speak, to show how the stuff works and how to make it work better.

The first session at the seminar will be on the topic of 'Five Challenges for the Next Five Years'. The five challenges which will be discussed are Speed, Fuzzy Boundaries, Customers and Capabilities, Extreme Competition and Uncertainty. Then there will be a discussion on Challenges for Leaders in India – A Perspective. The forum will conclude with interactive session with Mr Stewart.
