Hello Jayaraman,
I will be in India from 4 Sept till Mid Jan 2009. I conduct Author Workshsops, etc for acdemics and higher education students. I have also done seminars at a textile firm in Coimbatore, a few years ago.
Usually, academic institutions pay my travel expenses, living expenses, etc and pay me an honorarium.
I have excellent videos on 5s and Value Stream Mapping. If you are prepared to pay my expenses, etc, I am prepared to come to Coimbatore anytime convenient to both of us during my stay in Bangalore and conduct some sessions for your firm.
As per the programmes cinfirmed so far, I should be free during early Sept or mid October onwards. I have a session on Balanced Scorecards in Bangalore on 13 Sept., Author Workshops + Research Methodology seminar in Goa on 4 October, 6th October in Pune. There are other sessions (dates being negotiated) on "Roles of Faculties and HODs" and "Improving Learning through Creative Assessment and Teaching" for academics in two Institutes of Management in Bangalore.
You could drop me a private mail to [Login to view] , if you wish.
Have a nice day.
Narasimhan
