5Qs: Ingredients to make you and your Organisation successful

Every one - organisations to people - want to be successful, in this rapidly changing world. Success means different to different people. However, bigger part of the society, including organisations and people generally, do measure success in the term of monetary advancements? So what organisations and people have to look at continuously to make advancement in the set direction of success are Soft and Hard Resources. It is not only availability of these two ingredients which make someone successful or otherwise, but the proper mix of these two is of paramount importance. Of late, it has been seen that soft part is gaining utmost importance.

The world today is primarily facing two challenges - understanding & making sense of the changes around us at both individual and organisation level, and setting direction & making progress in an increasingly unpredicted world; rather on positive tone, daily unfolding world.

It would not be of prudence here to talk about the Hard Resources like material, machine, capital etc, as the whole world has understood its limited role in the success - whether an organisation, for that matter even an individual. There are many examples of successful people and organisations that have underrated importance of hard resources in continuous success. Best example is of Ford.

To make sense of fast changing world and fast acclimatization & accommodation at the end of organisations and people will help in achieving success. There are following 5-Qs which therefore need to pay attention to:

·        Intelligence Quotient
·        Emotional Quotient
·        Resilience Quotient
·        Political Quotient
·        Moral Quotient


 I will deal with each quotient, one-by-one in my next blogs. So look for it

Stress Loans: Will banks be unwilling to give loans to 'fair' companies? It is said that business is not done by 'self' investment but by 'borrowed' money from banks and individual investors. It is primarily banks & other financial institutions that extend lending facility as they are meant for this purpose. But they themselves are in a BUSINESS & business, of course, means profit. In last two decades, as the Indian economy opened up, banks & other institutions helped in achieving GDP growth by extending facility to old & new business to expand further. Bust as it is said, every coin has two sides - positive & negative. It is seen of late by published data that some seems to be taking undue advantage of this opportunity.

Pricing- a victim of IT Revolution

Businesses have undergone tremendous change due to information revolution. Pricing, which was in the hands of producers has shifted into the hands of customers. Today, marking up profit by simply jacking up prices is no longer possible. Transparency, customer awareness and easy modes to compare have changed the whole mechanism of pricing.
