Giri at 1200 noon on 09 October
The week that went by witnessed the death of Steve Jobs. In his lifetime, I assume Steve must have been inspired by the philosophical maxim ....iThink therefore iAm. Perhaps he even wished iDecree my iPad launches iSmartHumankind. Steve, let me join millions in thanking you for inspiring many fellow-human beings and impacting countless lives.
A debate that continues to hog Indian media is the one on poverty definition. I am appalled that the finest economists and social-scientists seem to end up being caught in a quagmire of controversial definitions. Are we sure they have adequately used the Six Hats to resolve these differences? (Debono Techniques discussed in an earlier post- White Hat thinking focuses on data, facts, information known or needed; Black Hat thinking focuses on difficulties, potential problems and Why something may not work; Red Hat thinking focuses on feelings, hunches, gut instinct, and intuition; Green Hat thinking focuses on creativity: possibilities, alternatives, solutions, new ideas; Yellow Hat thinking focuses on values and benefits and Why something may work; Blue Hat thinking focuses on managing the thinking process, focus, next steps, action plans). I am not convinced that this has been done.
Wishing you a great and exciting week ahead.
