An integrative approach is fundamental and vital.
Since the stakes are high and industry is moving very fast, a reactive ivory tower approach cannot succeed. In addition to top-down policy recommendations, the hive mind of the industry must be leveraged to support conversations for grassroots involvement and actions. David Weinberger said it most aptly: the smartest person in the room is now the room.
With this context in mind, about 30 product companies and individuals joined hands together to form iSPIRT – the Indian Software Product Industry Roundtable in early 2013. -

Project management process is a powerful transformational management methodology that has undeniably shown to help individuals and organisations successfully plan and accomplish many difficult objectives and projects around the world. It has grown, matured and spread around the world to include a robust set of theories, principles, methodologies, practices, activities, professionals and organisations. Adoption of systematic project management practices in key sectors, such as automobile, defense, energy, infrastructure, IT-ITES and infrastructure not only help attain project objectives but also provide a scope of national savings by lowering project execution costs.
However, with the ongoing success, popularity and acceptability of project management across different domains, studies reveal that only one third of an organization’s important projects deliver the expected results. The remaining projects unfortunately miss their strategic objectives, creating enormous financial costs for the companies involved.
The impacts of these failures highlight the numerous opportunities for performance improvement, and it becomes clear that a more widespread, effective use of project management is needed. The path forward starts with PMI India’s Excellence Enablers Forum.
As India forges ahead into a project driven work culture and economy, we are increasingly feeling the need for Excellence Enablers. By this we mean thought leaders and visionary organizations that can function as catalysts and facilitate a remarkable change for the better. -

Building Credibility in Four Easy Steps

Credibility is not about being the smartest or the most knowledgeable person in the room, or someone who has the most charismatic social personality, or has the most "power" or "connections," or is the loudest, or even having the most number of followers on their social media. If anything, credibility is all about being sincere, honest, transparent, person of integrity, objective, self-confident, knowledgeable, professional, humble, and authentic. But, how do you build credibility? As Henry Ford said, you can't build reputation on what you plan do to. Clearly, you must deliver something of value so that people can take you seriously.

Product development…Discover what it takes to develop products that blow your users away—and take market share from your competitors. This book will explain how the principles behind agile product development help designers, developers, architects, and product managers create awesome products; and how to look beyond a shiny user interface to build a great product. Most importantly, this book will give you a shared framework for your product development team to collaborate effectively.
Product development involves several key activities—including ideation, discovery, design, development, and delivery—and yet too many companies and innovators focus on just a few of them much to the detriment of the product’s success in the marketplace. As a result we still continue to see high failure rates in new product development, be it inside organizations or startups. Unfortunately, or rather fortunately, these failures are largely avoidable.
In the last fifteen years, advances in agile software development, lean product development, human-centered design, design thinking, lean startups and product delivery have helped improve individual aspects of product development. However, not enough guidance has been available to integrate them in the context of the product development life cycle.
Organized in the way an idea germinates, sprouts, and grows, the book synthesizes the body of knowledge in a pragmatic way that is more natural to the entire product creation process rather than from individual practices that constitute it. -
Learning to Lead Without Authority
Huffington Post
What happens when you separate leadership from authority? Over the next seven years, I learned a lot about leading without a team. My experiences were in India which is a rather hard place for such radical ideas - as a hierarchical society, we value seniority, and as a successful IT services industry, there is a fair amount of achievement-orientation. So, some of my insights could be very contextual, though I believe most have universal relevance...

Project Management vs. Program Management
Project Management Institute, North India Chapter
Program Management is often seen as the next logical step for seasoned project managers looking to take on bigger challenges. While project management is more about managing within boundaries of a project and gate keeping it against anything and everything that threatens the status quo, program management is typically all about breaking those very boundaries and managing across them by taking up anything and everything that threatens the status quo.

We envisioned a world-class experience center back in 2020/21 and we had the perfect starting point for #ideating - a blank canvas! The vision was clear - build a space where our associates can learn about Walmart #business, #history, #culture and #innovation using a variety of mechanisms - audio, video, AR/VR, interactive digital and physical walls, moving visualizations in the form of a sushi train, physical artifacts and even a mini-auditorium! And the result is a one-of-its-kind experience center we call "Spark Square" which has become a must-visit destination - right from the new associate onboarding to hosting our top leaders. Brandon Hall awarded Silver Medal in Best Unique or Innovative Learning and Development Program category for 2023 to The Spark Square.
