I had read an amazing article about creating blue oceans highly inspiring and relative. The drive of cost cutting and pricing to the lowest is in the air for anything and everything, we need to remember the old saying ‘need is the mother of all inventions’ the need is not only cost cutting and laying off staff from business organisations but the need to grow and sustain looking for long term goals than short term benefits, feels that it exist only in ideals I will not completely disagree with you. Comatose creeping the ethics and way we are looking at things, there is a need; a need for change, it is hardly about collective growth that you hear but what you hear is that cut throat competition, we have come to the belief that only demolition of the competitor can leave us to growth and prosperity (surprised! look around and you would see it; it is not what you hear about how we can enhance and proper but how we can take over the others); another view when you have people with more time and less work take the opportunity to grow in areas not thought before(idealistic view but think about it).
Unnerving ideologies all around us, making us of the biased to the opinion this is the only way that we can survive; this is only way we can grow. We happy about the companies coming in and investing is that growth or we just easy to penetrate cheap customers (don’t get offended but that is also the way the world looks at.....) what is the solution and what is the point? Strive for solutions than problems (easy said than done) I know that is why strive for enhancing quality and not only quantity; let me put across a very raw example in front of you. A student in one the many Pune engineering colleges had a passion; passion for playing an action computer game, all he knew was to play that game really well, yes the engineering went into vain, but you know what happened, he continued to play the game started entering into tournaments started winning them; became a national player earns five figure money in a month what would you say? Whatever you say the fact is it is proven! Creating blue oceans is similar it is about coming with ideas and solutions to ageless issues and finding a way through to make something better than you found it.
How can you do it? A) Understand your passion, if you love your job you would work for the solutions; you would have them cause that is what your brains wants to do. B) Think beyond the box it is no sin to think beyond the box, just a block of mind, stop being a stereotype; it is not done before cause nobody tried it real hard. C) Be open to critics and faults, they are not hindrances but they are loopholes you need to improve on. D) Strive for excellence and not just break even perfections. E) Quality enhancement should be the aim, quantity would follow. F) Trust yourself and trust the people you working with, knowledge is only tacit as in a skill when with an individual and only a kind of literary when for a group, there is a model at the end which would show the ideal way of sharing knowledge, the gist is when you have the knowledge it should have a common base which could enlighten the followers to take appropriate actions or a method ad adopted when faced with a similar situation(mind it; it is not setting standard protocols but a direction in which it has been acted upon before). G) World works on logic don’t fight don’t resist you cannot change the world instead find the logic. H) People are the driving forces for everything; get people onboard to share the view. I) It is important for people working for you and working with you to have clear and common goals; it would not fall from the sun you need to share it remind it again and again for them and for you to stay on course. J) Give directions and don’t expect the expected results, free will and space for mistakes would bring in growth when people share common goals at large.
Bring in the change it is high time we; I and You do something about it not caring about what would it change to vast ambiguities and atrocities; it is about what I and You can do, do your best and forget the rest (it is not wrong to accept an outcome) but it is also known you don’t know the result when you have been doing it for a long time until the right way becomes the habit. Don’t judge others seeking denial that you would not be judged; judge yourself to face yourself with integrity. Last but not the least losen up take a walk and create the blue oceans, as Einstein replied to press on the eureka of the bulb “I did not fail just found a thousand ways were it won’t work” get inspired; leave things behind start afresh start to create the blue oceans.
