It is 1145am on Sunday 28 October 2012.
Do survival instincts in human beings help in them being more innovative or do they make lateral thinking more difficult and far-fetched? Are our brains and cognitive processes wired-up so much that unless we are trained in the art of lateral-thinking, we do not use such faculties even in the worst of emergencies?
The exponents of jugaad innovation would probably argue that the case is otherwise and human beings exposed to a set of challenges will always innovate and come up with the most optimal of solutions, but a cursory glance at the challenges that face us in terms of healthcare, security and economic inclusion tell us another story.
So where does the truth lie? I am most interested in knowing more on how you feel about the questions that I pose today.
Wishing you a great weekend and a great week ahead.
