• “There were two paths in front of me.
One went to city and another to village. I
selected the village road which was very new
and unknown for me but I thought there were
lots of opportunity for me in this path. On my
decision people laughed at me saying you are
mad on selecting this path. Today I am known
for my Arecanut leaf plate initiative”
18. The Lean Startup: HowToday's Entrepreneurs
Use Continuous Innovation to Create
Radically Successful Businesses-Eric Ries
• Startup -dedicated to creating something new under conditions of
extreme uncertainty-1 man/group of professionals in a Fortune 500
• Common denominator- mission to penetrate uncertainty to
discover a successful path to a sustainable business
• Inspired by lessons from lean manufacturing, relies on:
– “validated learning,”
– experimentation,
– shorten product development cycles,
– measure actual progress & not just metrics,
– learn what customers really want.
• It enables a company to shift directions with agility & alter plans if
needed real-time
• Instead of elaborate business plans, way to test their vision
continuously, to adapt and adjust before it’s too late
21. The Hard thing about Hard things (Building a
Business when there are no easy answers) by
BEN HOROWITZ
Peace-time CEO War-time CEO
Eric Schmidt Larry Page
John Chambers Andy Grove
Steve Jobs
What aboutYou?
Let us analyze together
22. Peacetime CEO Wartime CEO
knows that proper protocol leads to
winning
violates protocol in order to win
focuses on the big picture and
empowers her people to make detailed
decisions
cares about a speck of dust on a gnat’s
ass if it interferes with the prime
directive (details- Jobs example)
builds scalable, high-volume recruiting
machines
does that, but also builds HR
organizations that can execute layoffs
spends time defining the culture lets the war define the culture
always has a contingency plan knows that sometimes you gotta roll a
hard six
knows what to do with a big advantage is paranoid
strives not to use profanity sometimes uses profanity purposefully
thinks of the competition as other ships
in a big ocean that may never engage
thinks the competition is sneaking into
her house and trying to kidnap her
children
23. Peacetime CEO Wartime CEO
aims to expand the market aims to win the market
strives to tolerate deviations from the
plan when coupled with effort and
creativity
is completely intolerant
does not raise her voice rarely speaks in a normal tone
works to minimize conflict heightens the contradictions
strives for broad-based buy-in neither indulges consensus building nor
tolerates disagreements
sets big, hairy, audacious goals is too busy fighting the enemy to read
management books written by
consultants who have never managed a
fruit stand
trains her employees to ensure
satisfaction and career development
trains her employees so they don’t get
their asses shot off in the battle
has rules like “We’re going to exit all
businesses where we’re not number
one or two.” (GE –CC)
often has no businesses that are
number one or two and therefore does
not have the luxury of following that
rule
24. My own take on above with reference to
Social Entrepreneurship
• A mix of Peace & War time styles might be
required- depending on the environment-
both internal & external, the book is written
more from a tech-start up point of view & not
from a Social Entrepreneurship angle
• Since most of the Social Ventures will have
people who care about Social causes, an
empathetic approach might be advisable to
relate with them as well as the cause

It’s become a trendy managerial acronym: VUCA, short for volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity, and a catchall for “Hey, it’s crazy out there!” It’s also misleading: VUCA conflates four distinct types of challenges that demand four distinct types of responses. That makes it difficult to know how to approach a challenging situation and easy to use VUCA as a crutch, a way to throw off the hard work of strategy and planning—after all, you can’t prepare for a VUCA world, right?
Actually, you can. Here is a guide to identifying, getting ready for, and responding to events in each of the four VUCA categories.
VUCA is an acronym used to describe or reflect on the volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity of general conditions and situations. The common usage of the term VUCA began in the 1990s and derives from military vocabulary[1] and has been subsequently used in emerging ideas in strategic leadership that apply in a wide range of organizations, including everything from for-profit corporations[2] to education
The deeper meaning of each element of VUCA serves to enhance the strategic significance of VUCA foresight and insight as well as the behavior of groups and individuals in organizations.[4] It talks on systemic failures[5] and behavioral failures,[5] which are imperative to organizational failure.
V = Volatility. The nature and dynamics of change, and the nature and speed of change forces and change catalysts.
U = Uncertainty. The lack of predictability, the prospects for surprise, and the sense of awareness and understanding of issues and events.
C = Complexity. The multiplex of forces, the confounding of issues and the chaos and confusion that surround an organization.
A = Ambiguity. The haziness of reality, the potential for misreads, and the mixed meanings of conditions; cause-and-effect confusion.
The concept of a VUCA world — one that is volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous — was introduced by the U.S. military as the Cold War ended and as the United States looked out over the emergence of a multilateral, rather than a bilateral, global landscape.
A core competency is a concept in management theory introduced by, C. K. Prahalad and Gary Hamel. It can be defined as "a harmonized combination of multiple resources and skills that distinguish a firm in the marketplace".
Philosophe Nick Bostrom describes four possible patterns for the future of humanity, as quoted in From Zero to One (Notes on Start ups) by Peter thiel
TAKE OFF- Use of Technology & U need to Make IT HAPPEN!
That leaves the fourth
scenario, in which we create
new technology to make a
much better future. The most
dramatic version of this
outcome is called the
Singularity, an attempt to
name the imagined result of
new technologies so powerful
as to transcend the current
limits of our understanding.
Ray Kurzweil, the best-known
Singularitarian, starts from
Moore’s law and traces
exponential growth trends in
dozens of fields, confidently
projecting a future of
superhuman artificial
intelligence. According to
Kurzweil, “the Singularity is
near,” it’s inevitable, and all
we have to do is prepare
ourselves to accept it.
