Investigation and Management: A Seminar (4th to

8th May, 2009)

The NADT warmly welcomes you! We are leaving nothing to chance in

ensuring that your stay and other arrangements made are rewarding and
stimulating. Please let us know by calling Extension No. 250 if
anything is amiss or additionally required.

About the Courses: The Courses are part of the NADT’s strategic policy
and approach to promote continued and coordinated development of
human capital in the Department at every rung of the organizational
ladder. Training is more than mere dissemination of information in
congenial surroundings. The acquisition and enhancement of skills by,
and more importantly, overall personality development of, the trainees
as well as the trainers, need to be part of the result-set. Training must
also transcend the invisible fine-line that separates pragmatism and
wisdom from academic knowledge. The philosophy behind training at the
NADT is that it must lead to:

• Confidence and efficiency in successfully implementing the subject being

trained in;
• Realistic self-appraisals as to where one stands, re the subject,
organizationally, societally & globally;
• Placing in perspective and dovetailing the subject matter, respectively,
o Against the organizational backdrop;
o Into planning and managing well one’s professional life and
career
In short, training must form structures, templates and modules in minds
in manners that help crystallize effective decision-making and also help
elevate the personal element in all such decisions to the highest levels of
artistic perfection.

We are happy about this opportunity to host this Seminar on two topics
of significance and relevance to you. As stated in the invite to each
of you, the fortunes of a Department sink or swim with the quality and
progress of its component minds. Productive transformation lies in
blazing trendsetting trails, engendering positive attitudinal synergies and
providing inspirational management. In these, your roles as JCsIT – being
our middle managers – are pivotal. For, your recent promotions have
meant transformed job profiles, responsibilities and challenges. Your
raises must necessarily be matched, even exceeded, by corresponding
elevations in personality attributes and management styles and
enhancements in knowledge, information and resource bases.

In addition, tax administration today faces rapid socio-economic changes,

technological innovation and globalization. Required hence are:
scientific ideas, structures, processes and procedures – in law and
organization and best practices – along management, techniques and
skills. Strengthened core competencies (Assessment and
Investigation) must combine with Management components that
include, an integrated perspective, cutting-edge academics and practices
and heightened personality attributes and cultural sensitivities.
‘Investigation and Management: A Seminar’ seeks to achieve this
holistic orientation and organic integration.

Training Courses at the NADT are designed along the following

dimension-coordinates:

– 1st co-ordinate  ‘primary objectives’: i.e., whether oriented towards

concepts-skills acquisition-enhancement, information dissemination or
personality evolution, or a combination;
– 2nd co-ordinate  ‘tertiary objectives’ of intended targets: i.e., whether
entry-level officers, middle-managers or cadre-controllers, or a
combination;
– 3rd co-ordinate  ‘secondary objectives’: i.e., whether a ‘repeated’
success of the past, a ‘requested (by outside agencies, and hence revenue
generating)’ option from the present or ‘designed’ to handle the changes and
challenges of the present and future;

The design of this Course is aimed:

• 1st coordinate – along mainly personality development (read MANAGEMENT)

and competencies-skills enhancement (read INVESTIGATION) although relevant
information updates are introduced,
• 2nd coordinate – at middle-managers
• 3rd coordinate – at being a repeat, although greatly redesigned and fine-tuned,
one.
