Its

probably the
most interesting
times in the global business landscape, that
we are witnessing back
-to-back surprises. On
one hand, we are seeing that the political
equations are changing, and on the other
we are seeing a geographical shift of economic leadership. As a
country, India seems to
be driving the toplines of
businesses around, and
at the same time, signaling existence of certain
inherent weaknesses in
a few sectors. An outreaching analysis of future brings up the confidence, but, the status

best solution.
In the VUCA
world, a successful manager is one who is able
to dissect the problem on
hand in the right way,
and bring alternative
solutions dynamically.
Understanding of the
ecosystem in which he
operates is a prerequisite. A splurge of such
prepared managers is
the need of the hour.
