Once bankers, now philosophers - India Business - Business - NEWS - The Times of India

“The meltdown is a reminder to everyone to put aside the deafening daily din and to put your ear to the inner voice and calling of life. One is here on earth for a unique purpose and your job cannot be your unique purpose unless it is a means to a different end.” laments a laid-off investment banker in the financial meltdown.

Mid-life crisis, meltdown trauma--call it whatever may, the present crisis is forcing many to 'reengineer' their inner operating systems for harmonious and meanignful existence in this tumultous world. Myself and several of my colleagues are desperately searching for their unique purpose and a sweet-spot to anchor their efforts during the recovery phase. Having spent nearly 25 years of my career in Indian IT organizations constantly adjusting my 'self' to the larger business goals of my employers, I feel that I have had lost opportunity to express my inner core--of conflicts, disagreements, half-truths and honest opinions. Thanks to the blogosphere, I could configure this blog-site (ThinkPROCESS) in few minutes and start blogging from today on my personal mission "Democratising Inventive Thinking".

'Think Process' is not 'thinking about process', but the 'process of thinking' itself. Hence, it's not an oxymoron as many who have been schooled in the traditional brainstorming paradigm of unstructuredness and serendipity might ague. Yes, like structured methodologies of Project Management, we can have a structure and sequence to the process of generating ideas. Those who are working in the digital domain (ICT industry) can clearly visualise the emergence of this 'think process paradigm' in solving problems using ICT. Inspired by TRIZ--a Structured Inventive Thinking Methodology pioneered by Generic Altshuller, Patent Examiner in the erstwhile Soviet Navy--we shall discuss how can we leverage some of his key concepts to arrive at a tailored framework to foster inventive thinking among architects/designers in the ICT industry.

Welcome to my Blog, we look forward to exciting and creative dialogue on this important topic.
Regards,
KG Krishna
