People Matters’ Post

#Learning & #Development is core and critical to any Organisation to ensure it thrives, stays nimble and agile in this VUCA/ BANI world. For the unversed learners, VUCA stands for: 1. Volatility: The nature and dynamics of change, and the nature and speed of change forces and change catalysts. 2. Uncertainty: The lack of predictability, the prospects for surprise, and the sense of awareness and understanding of issues and events. 3. Complexity: The multiplex of forces, the confounding of issues, no cause-and-effect chain and confusion that surrounds organization. 4. Ambiguity: The haziness of reality, the potential for misreads, and the mixed meanings of conditions; cause-and-effect confusion. & BANI stands for: 1. Brittle: Appears strong but is prone to sudden and catastrophic failure. 2. Anxious: High levels of anxiety due to complexities and constant threats. 3. Nonlinear: Disproportionate cause and effect, making outcomes unpredictable. 4. Incomprehensible: Difficult to understand, making it hard to make rational decisions. Developed by anthropologist Jamais Cascio, BANI emerged as a response to the limitations of the VUCA model in describing the modern world, especially in the context of global crises and rapid technological changes. BANI provides a framework for understanding environments where even well-established systems can rapidly fail and where traditional linear responses are inadequate. Both VUCA and BANI are used to help leaders and organizations adapt their strategic thinking and decision-making processes to complex, unpredictable, and often chaotic environments.

"Soft skills are essentially power skills that enable you to thrive alongside automation rather than being replaced by it." Listen to our founder, Samyak Chakrabarty, discuss the transformative power of soft skills and how they can shape the careers of graduates, ensuring they remain relevant and thrive in an AI-driven world. #SoftSkillsforSuccess #CareerGrowth #Employability

I had the privilege of participating in Skillsoft's Perspectives Amsterdam event last week, which was all about the impact of technology (particularly GenAI) as we skill talent to meet the workforce needs of the future. Our keynote speaker and futurist, Lieke (Cornelia) Lamb, approached the topic philosophically. Lamb focused on the relationship between enduring concepts and their ever-changing manifestations. She talked about the driving forces behind our actions (concepts) and the ways they materialize in today's world (manifestations), emphasizing that while our fundamental challenges remain, our methods of addressing them evolve constantly. To that end, Lamb shared a timeless quote from Socrates: "The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room." It was a clever nod to the idea that change is constant. We've always wanted to fly; we've just replaced Icarus' wings with rocket boosters. However, the most compelling insight from Lamb's keynote was the idea that while each generation faces its unique challenges, what we are experiencing now is unprecedented in human history: no one knows what will be relevant in 20 years. We are amid an unparalleled acceleration of change, rendering the concept of a 'job for life' obsolete. By the time we master the game, the rules have changed. So, how do we equip ourselves to remain relevant? To prepare for the jobs of tomorrow? It starts by embracing the unknown, dedicating ourselves to continual learning and skill-building, and remaining agile. Oh, and by reminding ourselves that the core concepts that motivate us don’t change; it’s how we bring them to life that does.

Extremely happy to share 🎉 that our team, Cognitive Crusaders, has secured the 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱 position at the highly competitive IBM SkillsBuild Pitch Night. With a competitive pool of 29,347 students, representing 6,123 teams from 1,230 colleges across 25 states in India, only 𝟵 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀 made it to the final pitch. This achievement reflects not just our commitment, but the incredible creativity and passion of all participants. Our project, The 1st Runner Up: 𝑺𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒎𝒆𝑺𝒂𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒊 💡 It is an AI-powered chatbot created to help users easily find government schemes according to their specific needs. By simplifying the process of accessing information, it eliminates the confusion and barriers that often prevent people from understanding what support is available to them. SchemeSaathi's goal is to empower citizens by making resources more accessible, allowing individuals to connect with the opportunities and benefits they are entitled to without the usual complexity. The project aligns with several SDGs, mainly SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), SDG 16 (Peace, Justice & Strong Institutions), and SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure). This has been an amazing experience where I’ve strengthened my teamwork, communication, and time management skills. Working on a chatbot powered by IBM Watson was an incredible opportunity provided by IBM. I learned a lot about the backend that powers what appears to be a simple and user-friendly chatbot. While users only see a few options to choose from, creating those options and filtering the right content for users requires immense hard work, dedication, accuracy, and brainstorming. Through this opportunity, I’ve also learned from other presenting teams and identified areas where we can improve our project, fueling my drive to unlock new potential in future challenges. I owe this success to the efforts and dedication of my teammates: Priyancy Singal,Tanisha Sati Sanya Saxena, Oditi .Areeba Khanam. 😊 🤗 #𝑺𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒎𝒆𝑺𝒂𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒊 #1stRunnerUp #IBMskillsbuild #CSRBOX #teamWork #Innovation #CognitiveCrusaders #AmazingExperience

I had the opportunity to participate in the Accenture Innovation Challenge 2024, hosted on Hack2skill. Though I chose to work independently, it allowed me to dive deep into innovative problem-solving. My challenge was to explore “Open Innovation using Generative AI”, where I developed an idea centered around a generative AI-powered platform for business sustainability. 🧠Project: EcoAI Innovator This platform is designed to help businesses transition toward sustainability while fostering societal growth. Leveraging advanced AI, EcoAI Innovator analyzes business operations, supply chains, and environmental impacts to generate optimized solutions that enhance energy efficiency, reduce waste, and lower carbon emissions. The platform offers personalized, eco-friendly strategies—tailored to specific business needs—from product designs to energy-efficient architectural plans, supporting businesses in optimizing their operations and contributing to environmental and societal well-being. 📄Unique Selling Proposition (USP) What sets EcoAI Innovator apart is its personalized approach. Unlike generic platforms, it generates custom solutions that seamlessly integrate into each business’s model. This empowers businesses to make sustainability effortless, contributing to both societal growth and a positive environmental impact. While my project remained in the ideation phase and I was unable to create a prototype within the given timeframe, the challenge was an incredible learning experience. I recently received word that my idea wasn't shortlisted, but I firmly believe that "You can’t taste winning without losing." I’m proud of the insights I gained through this journey. I’d like to express my gratitude to Accenture, Hack2skill, and Techno India University for providing such opportunities. #Innovation #GenerativeAI #Sustainability #EcoTech #AIforGood #GrowthMindset
