Industry Consortium of SOIL
Co-Creating the Institute
 |
 |
What is it?
A select consortium of
corporate firms who share SOIL's vision
and ethos is invited to partner with SOIL
to enhance mutual learning and standards in higher education. This
network of accomplished professionals, would help impart overall
direction to curriculum design, participate in the admission
process, review the quality of teaching, learning and industry
research and lead the placement process.
Taking learning beyond the classroom, SOIL would study the operations of each company in
its industry consortium and in partnership, develop a case study
relevant to its curriculum. When this is discussed in the
classroom, a company leader would facilitate the learning process
along with the faculty member of SOIL, to
make the exchange more meaningful and real.

Guiding Principles
We are a group of
companies that care a lot about the right ways of doing business.
We believe that goodness has to prevail over greed if businesses
have to become sustainable. Ethics is important to us as it is the
only way to serve the interests of all our stakeholders.
Transparency, integrity and no deception of any kind are the
cornerstone of Ethics. In the long run these always create "Value"
in every sense of the term.
We believe that leaders must have compassion and must "feel" for
those who are not so fortunate around us. We believe that it is our
responsibility to actively work towards improving their capacity so
that they can improve their living standards. We realize that
nations and communities cannot improve unless corporate become good
citizens who actively contribute to the creation and maintenance of
good physical and social infrastructure and participate in lead
movements for advocacy of consumer and human rights, good civic
sense, safety and security, communal harmony and a peaceful and
healthy planet. In this regards we encourage partnerships between
businesses and NGO's and Governments to
do more "good".
We believe that greater spiritual and self awareness helps people
to increase appreciation of each other's religious beliefs and
develop the feeling of "oneness" amongst all living beings. This
also keeps people on the path of "virtue, courage and wisdom" and
helps them to be joyful and create excellence in what they do.
We know that love for nature and concern for ecological balance
encourages us to look for practices and behaviors that consume
lesser energy and reduces the damage that we do to the environment
so that we produce more than what we consume. Elimination of waste
therefore is of paramount importance to us. Creating and embracing
green technologies we believe is both good and profitable in the
long term.
We believe that education is the key force that can make the above
principles comes to life. It is for the reason we whole heartedly
support and encourage the School of Inspired Leadership.
