It has been a long time since i wrote something. I should be thankful for the wonderful insights provided by Mr Prashant and Mr Ravi today. That 2 hours meeting with them has forced me to scribble down my thoughts.
I would like to steal a small example stated by Mr Prashant. How do we clean clothes? By using Washing Machine or by taking the pains ourselves. A company came up with a brilliant idea of removing the dirt using bubbles. They would break the bond on/inside/between the dirt to get it removed. If this comes into picture, then there would be no use of a Washing machine. This was the technology adopted from a Car manufacturing company. The company wouldnt have achieved this unless they had a knowledge on the the process followed in the car manufacturing company. A person would have certainly come up with this idea of adapting the technology. He/She couldnt have thought about this unless they had a knowledge on things going on around them.
Another way of looking at this. The company would have recruited that person who should have been a specialist in research activities. Unless he had the knack of looking things that way, he wouldnt have given a thought in that angle.
I have always heard this saying. A person can get things done quickly if he can utilize his surroundings to his/her advantage. To manufacture a car, i need not know the details of each and every part of the car, but i just need to know from where i can procure these things so that i can instruct my team to get them and assemble it to manufacture a car. But i should definitely know what the car after manufacturing would look like or how it would function. I believe this is going to be a generation for those who can be a specialist with a worldly knowledge and what they dont teach you at Harvard (Common Sense).
P.S -->
1. Mr Prashant and Mr Ravi - Thalaivargal.
2. I have not exlplained the process in detail as i didnt feel like writing so much. :D :D :D
