Business Work Shop's experience.

Today I have been invited by one of the Fortune 500

listed Indian firm to conduct workshop in

"Agile Knowledge Management Strategy."

I will be making 60 PPT slides, this is going to be a very

challenging assignment as many Indian Fortune 500

Firms are looking out for Agile Management Strategy.

I have conducted at least 30-45 workshops as external

consultant for Mafoi-Randstad India.

I was conducting one workshop with A.V. Birla Group

on a Sunday with all their VP, Sr G.M. and CEO

attending the workshop on Benchmarking and Strategy Mapping.

There I told to all the Sr Executives to borrow all the best ideas
from around the world and across the industry.
Then I told about the "Stretched Targets", the CEO and

Executive Directors were sitting along with 25 Sr Managers.

They all kept mum. The CEO asked me a question that why

people shy away from Stretched Targets?
They are in the comfort zone, we cannot take them away

from the comfort zone, and fear of failure and then the

blame game starts.

The CEO of that A.V. Birla Group shared his experience.
He met with legendary Mr.L.N. Mittal in Mumbai, Mittal

came to Mumbai in the Late Aditya Vikram Birla

Lecture series.

Mr.Mittal told in that conference, that he to took a target to a
acquire Arselors within sixty days time.
This was benchmarked time frame that he took with
a "stretched target",mentally to acquire the

giant steel firm Arselors .

He negotiated with all global financial consortiums scouting
for money and mobilized the money.
On the 59th day he acquired Arselors. That's the mental
determination he had with him, and fulfilled it.

A very strange story, yes you learn a lot while conducting
seminars and workshops, I have seen it’s two way learning
across various industries..
