A newly inducted fellow of the Nigerian Institute of Management, Prof Oladele Balogun, has stated that sustainable transformation depends on placing people and culture, beyond technology and strategy, at the centre of institutional change.Balogun, Special Adviser on Administration to Pastor Enoch Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God said his induction as a Fellow of the Nigerian Institute of Management would strengthen his capacity to drive organisational and institutional development.Balogun spoke shortly after his induction at the 65th NIM Awards, Fellows and Spouses’ Day held in Lagos recently. He was among the over 200 members elevated to the institute’s highest professional grade at the event.The don described the recognition as significant, noting that it came shortly after his induction into the Nigerian Academy of Letters. He said the Fellowship carried particular weight given his role as a manager of people, adding that his membership of the professional body had exposed him to management principles relevant to developing institutions and their workforce.“I feel great that I have been inducted as a Fellow of the Nigerian Institute of Management. It will enable me to continue contributing my quota as a professional towards the development of my organisation,” Balogun said.He added that the institute’s emphasis on leadership and management would further sharpen his ability to improve organisational performance and serve the institutions under his watch.The President and Chairman of Council of NIM, Commodore Abimbola Ayuba (retd.), charged the new Fellows to see their elevation as a call to greater service rather than a reward for professional achievement.“Fellows’ upgrade is not an end in itself; it is rather a call to service. I, therefore, implore the recipients not to rest on their oars but remain committed to supporting the Institute in its developmental strides,” Ayuba said.He urged the Fellows to deploy their skills, experience and resources to the service of the institute and humanity, noting that they would identify challenges in their areas of expertise and develop studies and recommendations to aid national development.“The evolving policy statements and recommendations will thus be made to the government, the private sector and other numerous stakeholders,” he said.The guest speaker and Group Head, Human Resources, BUA Group International, Dotun Adako, told the gathering that sustainable organisational transformation could not be achieved through technology and strategy alone, insisting that it required fundamental changes in organisational culture, operations and human potential.He urged leaders to combine strategic vision with empathy while managing employees through periods of significant organisational change. “Without people, no matter the strategy, no matter the technicalities, no matter the initiatives, no matter the technology that we put in place, we need our people as leaders,” Adako said.Adako noted that leadership had evolved beyond traditional management and task delivery, stressing the growing importance of emotional intelligence, people development and employee engagement. He urged organisations seeking sustainable transformation to put people and organisational culture at the centre of their strategies.
