The challenge is not only to harness this capability, but to also add to it by getting on board some more luminaries to sustain IMI's intellectual edge. Second, we have identified executive education as a key focus area... Third, in our quest to deliver high quality intellectual inputs, augmentation of our research infrastructure is one of our priorities.”
