About the Conference

In an era defined by rapid technological evolution, the boundaries of management are being reimagined. Artificial Intelligence is no longer a distant frontier; it is an active collaborator, transforming how organisations operate, compete, and create value. Augmented Management, the fusion of intelligent automation with human-centric leadership, represents a forward-thinking approach where technology amplifies human capabilities rather than replacing them. As organisations navigate complex environments and unprecedented opportunities, leaders are now challenged to integrate AI-driven insights with empathy, ethical judgment, and strategic foresight. This symbiosis ushers in a new paradigm where decision-making becomes more data-empowered, workplaces become more adaptive, and human potential is elevated through intelligent augmentation.

The 22nd International Conference of Prestige Institute of Management and Research, Indore, scheduled for 8-9 January 2027, explores this transformative intersection. Anchored in the theme “Augmented Management in the Age of AI: Blending Automation with Human-Centric Leadership,” the conference aims to bring together academicians, researchers, industry practitioners, and policymakers to reflect on the future of work, the reshaping of managerial roles, and the evolving relationship between humans and intelligent systems. This gathering serves as a platform to examine how organisations can harness AI responsibly, build augmented workforces, and foster leadership that is agile, ethical, and deeply human. As we step into a future where technology strengthens rather than overshadows human ingenuity, the dialogue on augmented management becomes not only essential but imperative.
