The more things change, the more they remain the same – I recall this easy explanation from those lazy enough to strive for improving the situations that they find themselves in; and wonder, how do we see through the clutter and recognize changes that have been subtle, yet impactful?
2011 indeed presents us with many such wonderful opportunities to recognize these subtle changes, I would venture to claim. Be it the Arab Spring, Anna Hazare’s rallies to get the Government of India to legislate an anti-corruption bill in India, the process employed as well as the final choice of the new Chairman of India’s leading business house (Tata Sons), the struggles of EU leaders to save a common currency...... all of these have shown us that, while global leaders and local communities use lateral thinking and innovative models but seem to have made little impact, the fact of the matter is that these efforts are indeed the ones that have positively ensured that workable solutions to problems are attempted.
So, what do you think will 2012 bring out in terms of innovations and new approaches to making our lives a little better? Can we do some crystal-ball gazing? I look forward to your predictions? I will let you have mine next Sunday. Until then, wishing you a great week ahead.
