Consulting - Crossing the boundaries

Have you ever amazed when you complete assignment/task/project work which you originally thought are complicated to accomplish or by no means doable for you? I had similar experiences. What is the rationale that one crosses his individual boundaries? Underrate capabilities? If your answer is yes then I think different.
I don’t think we underrate capabilities. I think, there are two reasons for this to happen. One is, we are on continuous learning process which increases our capability to do more. Other is, with structured approach. With structured approach we can even solve seemingly complex problem. This means, we do not require exact skill to solve the problem but we need the approach. This is nothing but fundamental premise of big consulting organisations. They take something which is complex to tackle, something in which they do not have experience in and with right approach they solve the issue. Now, here word “Solve” is very subjective. Solve does not mean best solution. It means solution. This is true when you do not have reference to compare the solution with.
I feel, consulting companies compete on the basis of approach. Approach is mix of experience, knowledge, information, creativity and gut feelings. I tend to think approach as “Skill” which is above particular subject and difficult to quantity. Skill is an individual attribute and not an organisational attribute.
Next time, Give it a thought when you take something challenging!!!

Water – Read the future !!!

Now a days, there is unexpected increase in number of companies aggressively marketing various types of water purification system.
This essentially forces us to reflect, what has made them to make such a massive investment in Water Purification Technology. Commonsense says, pure water is going to be scarce resource. R and D units of these companies may have sensed this and are planning to grab this opportunity. Well, they are helping society in terms of solving the issue. I agree.
But I believe, consideration must also be given to the "Root" causes for degradation of Water Quality. There are known issues, vested interests.
Water one of the basic Human needs. Considering poverty in India, there will be still a lot of population which can not afford purification systems. They will be exposed to polluted water in near terms or long term. Consequence will be impact of health and their capacity to work hard. This will put pressure on govt systems which are already in collapsed state.
Corporate Social Responsibility should speak up !!!
Big Problem and Easy Practical Solutions !! We in our day to day life should reduce the use of chemicals or any activity which will pollute the water further !!!!
This will defiantly not resolve the issue. But will certainly help to lessen the impact.
Golden State : Why can’t we conserve our water reservoirs?
