Should centenaries always call for celebrations? If yes, should these celebrations always gloss over the shortcomings, under-achievements, lapses and failures and focus only on the successes; should they always encourage and wish more centuries to follow? And what innovative ways can one think of when one wants to highlight the achievement of a century?
Well these are some thoughts that have occupied me since morning as Sujavna completes 100 posts over the last 103 weeks. Am I enthused to create even better submissions on this blog and how else can I enthuse and encourage you to react to these submissions?
Last week, I mentioned that I will use some thinkertoy techniques to relook at the challenge of redesigning city marathons. I am glad to say that the work is well underway and is currently at a stage where linear “scamper” techniques are being used. So questions that I ask include: Can marathons be Substituted? Can some marathon-related activities be Combined? What can be Adapted? What aspects of marathon organisations be Modified? Can marathons be Put somewhere else? What aspects of marathons can be Erased without materially affecting the outcomes? Can there be a Reversal of activities that still enables results but in a more effective way? I also propose to augment these with some non-linear “free-dance”, “lotus-blossom” and “tug-of-war” techniques and conclude on my suggestions soon. So keep watching out for this space in my future posts.
