Creative Thinking @Work
What can we learn from Tata's Nano car? The design and manufacturing of the car challenged the traditional models of management. It is classical example of how one could use the SCAMPER model developed by by Bob Eberle. By asking what can we Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Minimise/Maximise, Put to other use, Eliminate or Reverse/Rearrange will open a whole range of new options or solutions.

The link between management and productivity
The article from The McKinsey Quarterly is a must read if you are interested in productivity
There is a common assumption that if companies perform well, they must have good managers at all levels of the organization. It is, after all, hard to imagine a company surpassing its rivals if its managers are second rate. New research now confirms the notion that management matters to all companies, including the top performers. (MORE)

Upgrading talent
Downturns place companies’ talent strategies at risk. As deteriorating performance forces increasingly aggressive head count reductions, it’s easy to lose valuable contributors inadvertently, damage morale or the company’s external reputation among potential employees, or drop the ball on important training and staff-development programs. But there is a better way. By emphasizing talent in cost-cutting efforts, employers can intelligently strengthen the value proposition they offer current and potential employees and position themselves strongly for growth when economic conditions improve.

A downturn can give smart companies a chance to upgrade their talent.

"By 2006, almost half of NASA's workers will be eligible for retirement, many of them in science and engineering.
Some of the knowledge likely to walk out the door is obsolete, irrelevant, or otherwise useless. But some of it is irreplaceable. Moreover, much is tacit, that is, not articulated in any form easily retrieved by others. And the most valuable of that expertise fits our definition of "deep smarts"... MORE

Creative Thinking @ Work, 22&23 September
Unfolding the Power of Creativity
Workshop on 22&23 September 2008
$495 including 2 coffee breaks & lunch, YWCA Fort Canning Lodge
Call 63370098 for registration
Do we really need to innovate? Once you recognize the fact that business organizations are under tremendous pressure to generate innovative ideas that are sought after by the market, you will no longer ask that question. Instead you’ll ask – How do we go about innovating for new ideas in our workplace? Organisations and senior managers accept the reality that the only way to remain viable and grow is to remain competitive through innovative products and services. Managers, Supervisors and Team Leaders play a critical role in the creative and innovation process in the organization.
In order to innovate for new ideas at the workplace, employees at all levels within the organization need to be trained on how to seek new ideas through creative approaches in their thinking. This requires the acceptance that creative thinking can be taught and be applied in a systematic manner. Once employees learn to ask SMART and RIGHT questions they will be able to generate useful and innovative ideas for their organization’s needs. This workshop is designed to train employees to ask SMART and RIGHT questions that will unfold great opportunities.

Wireless Transmission of Electricity
n the past, people like Nikola Telsa did attempt to beam electricity around wirelessly. That attempt that started during the late 19th century came to an end when funding ran out for his research. When the world was willing to live with wired network of electricity, the reason for developing wireless network to transmit electricity took a back seat.
Recently Marin Soljačić, from MIT, was dragged out of bed by the insistent beeping of a cell phone. "This one didn't want to stop until you plugged it in for charging," says Soljačić. In his exhausted state, he wished the phone would just begin charging itself as soon as it was brought into the house.
That problem triggered the journey for wireless transmission. Watch the video
