A stream of visual insights in form of #sketchnotes from the pen of Tanmay Vora. More about sketchnote project here.
Innovation is perhaps the most used word in corporate boardrooms today. Start ups are organized around a brand new idea but they often stumble when it comes to execution. Big companies have all the required resources, but also a lot of red-tape and resistance to change. Add to this, the challenges of hyper-competitive landscape, organization […]
One thing that truly defines great leaders is that they “create an expectation”. Not just meeting the expectation (that’s management), but setting an expectation. Leaders paint a vivid picture of a future state and promise positive change. That is the starting point of leadership irrespective of whether you are leading an organization or improving a […]
Make more art. Art that is not only confined to traditional understanding, but doing things in a way that changes others and ecosystem for better. In that sense, each one of us has a possibility to be an artist. A project delivered successfully that enables a customer in a big way, a conversation that moves […]
