I believe in the prowess of an Indian mind; Individuality; power of fact led, objective oriented innovation; structure and clarity. With the help of these tools I can easily navigate chaos and complexity.
Way I Work
Aggressive Attitude – Sometimes a problem requires an attack from all sides
Original Approach – Taking an original path requires risk taking and having foresight
Analytical Depth – Involves asking a lot of questions and recursive introspection
Strategic Thinking – Is like imagining where you want to be tomorrow, today; and answering “How did I get here?”
Grand Designs – Seldom do goals worth achieving happen by chance
Key frameworks I use
Agile Theory – Systematic, modular, incremental and automated workflows can counter both chaos and complexity
Game Theory – Each unique result of a game requires its own unique path
Chaos Theory – Simplyfing chaos through interconnected sub-systems
Blue Oceans Theory – Making the obvious irrelevant through the uncontested
Data Synthesis – Making luck with data and analysis
My natural abilities
Natural abilities towards strategy development, execution planing, data modeling and automated data analysis. I thrive under chaotic and complex conditions.
How I look at businesses
I do not look at businesses as individual entities, I look at them as ecosystems. Not in the way porter did (The five forces), but somewhat an extension of it. In this the industry is looked at as a system of interconnected sub-systems. By looking at it this way the ecosystem reduces to just three things: 1) Players 2) Opportunities and 3) Products.
