The good thing about stupidity and making simple things complex!
There is one good thing about stupidity and making simple things complex….. It keeps one employed for a longer period. Ask an average information worker what they do every day. They will have a perfect story to justify their existence. They may explain how they copy...
Be nice and stop condemning yourself!
Our journeys make us unique. They make us who we are. We as individuals often look back and criticise our past actions and decisions. For instance, I am notoriously bad when it comes to self-evaluation. I usually blame and insult myself. I look back and condemn why I...

Why do some project tasks linger to frustrate us?
Why is it difficult to get the Project team to close the tasks as per the plan? Why there are lingering subtasks that are never completed? Days and weeks pass by, and we burn time and resources, but something is always pending. Have you had this experience? So, why do...
Systems require all parts to work together in cohesion!
A healthy body can be dysfunctional if there is a problem with a single nerve. Similarly, a machine stops working even if a minor component breaks. Systems require all parts to work together in cohesion. Therefore look at the end-to-end processes and value chains to...
Stop insulting transformations with a narrow viewpoint!
Transformations are complex initiatives. A body transformation is not limited to reducing fat and building muscle. However, these two aspects are often quite visible. True body transformation is the coordinated effort to improve all the body elements (metabolism,...
Why do ERP implementations often suck?
There is a widespread misconception that ERP implementations have some magical powers. Their implementation will result in a massive improvement in efficiency and customer experience. Many Business Cases claim to recover the investment in less than 5 years. However,...
