Dear Fellow Members of the Cricket Club of India
The Annual General Meeting of our Club and Elections for 5 Executive Committee posts are once again around the corner. It is evident that members want change once again as their aspirations have not been met. As I have taken a keen interest in studying the working of our club since the AGM of December 2007, when I first introduced a vision statement for our club:
“To be a premier choice for members & their families to avail of sports and recreation facilities; encouraging participation, camaraderie, sportsmanship, networking, heritage, culture and appreciation of cuisine and the sensible development of necessary facilities and services for the same, all at reasonable costs.”
When I wake every morning I first see our prestigious club from my apartment balcony on the top floor of CCI Chambers. I have never been a Cricketer but have played table tennis, Swum and played Squash at our club in the past. I don't belong to any particular department or political group and hence am a neutral professional OFFERING my pro-bono time and efforts to help the club in the areas it most needs assistance, now more than ever, including Systems & Processes, Information Technology Deployment, Human Resources Development and to help build a cohesive & well Governed establishment for optimal member satisfaction. A few professionally minded members joined me in starting a first time ever Organisational Development Committee (ODC) at our club, in 2011. However the term of its early existence was short lived for reasons best known to those who chose to discontinue it at a very early stage.
But now, it is time again to consider an Organisational Development approach to fortify our club for long term management stability and progress. I find a number of members asking me if I will stand for the post of an Executive Committee Member at the forthcoming elections. I am humbled by the thought that fellow members now appreciate my views on professionalism over politics at our club. Not only at our club but at such institutions every where it is imperative to build organisations and their capacity to deliver to an ever increasing member base.
So I MAY stand for elections this year. But whether I do or not, my views on what I believe is good for our club, as blogged earlier too, remain unchanged. So with sincerity and humility I request my fellow members to support and vote for those who believe in Organisational Development and Professionalism as the best way forward for our club. We are indeed fortunate to be its members. I continue to thank all those who work for it.
Yours truly,
Rajiv Bhatia
