DESIGN SOLUTIONS

3. •One who makes a difference in the lives of people
around him
•One who thinks of giving something
•Promotes win - win situation
•Believes in man-making rather than polishing only the
outside (when there is nothing inside)
•Thinks of “we” and not “I”

4. INTRODUCTION
•Contributors approach the various situations in their life and work place
with a unique mindset. This mindset we call, the ‘Contributor Mindset’.
•The first aspect of the Contributor Mindset is the Contributor’s willingness
and capacity to find solutions
•When faced with a challenge, the Contributor’s first response is
“Can we find a solution?”
•But this is not all. The Contributor also “finds a solution”.
•Contributor develops the capacity to find solutions through continuous
practice and learning from other Contributors

5. CONCEPT EXPLORATION

6.  People – Henry Ford on Model T.
 “Available in any colour as long as it is black”
 System – Bureaucracy at work place
 BSNL : Bhai Saheb Nahi Lagega
 Ideas (very critical !)
 “Nobody can pass the sound barrier”
 “Everything that can be invented has been invented”
 “Our culture is doomed.”

7. Generating new possibilities is the first step in
creating innovations.
HOW do you discover and create possibilities?
 Start with yourself
 You probably have millions of good ideas located
right there in your head, already. You just have to
get hold of them and pull them out.
 Learn about community
 You need to gather enough information to form an
overall picture of people's interests, struggles,
similarities, values, and differences

8.  Think about the future
 we can make some educated guesses. And those guesses
may help us figure out next steps that work for our
communities.
 Get beyond hopelessness
 difficult time being creative and thinking about new
possibilities
 Be courageous
 In order to be creative you may have to be courageous.
You may have to dare to think in ways that are different
from others

9.  Both the Wright Brothers never graduated from
High School.
 In 1889 the Wright Brothers started the West Side
News
 It was a weekly newspaper that Wilbur and Orville
Wright published briefly in 1889 and 1891
 In 1893 The Wright Brothers started a bicycle shop
that allowed them to rent and repair bicycles.
 Only 5 of the Wright Brothers’ bicycles exist to this

10.  They gained the mechanical skills essential
for their success by working for years in
their shop with printing presses, bicycles,
motors, and other machinery.
 Their work with bicycles in particular
influenced their belief that an unstable
vehicle like a flying machine could be
controlled and balanced with practice.
 This shows their continuous dedication
towards work and improving their skills.
 When the world was thinking of ways to
speed up travel on Land and Water, they
came up with a completely new idea of
travel by Air !!!

11.  They further experimented in their own wind
tunnel after being succeed in their first flight.
 On October 20, 1904 the Wright Brothers flew
the first complete circle in an aircraft.
 The flight was 1 minute, 36 seconds and
covered 4,080 feet.
 In 1905, On October 5, Wilbur made an
amazing flight in which he circled the field 30
times in 39 minutes for a total distance of 24
1/2 miles and the flight discontinued because
he ran out of fuel.

12. • Non – Contributors give all type of excuses
whenever some problem crops up which they know
is going to push them to the extremes.
• For them, the glass is ‘always half empty’.
• Contributors, on the other hand, have a Will-Do
attitude (not just can-do). The glass is ‘always half
full’ for them.
• Having a such an attitude is actually about making a
decision to look to the solution rather than just the
problem.
• How to cultivate a ‘can-do’ attitude?

13.  I can do everything, if its important enough for me to
do.
 I may not do all at once but I can do everything.
 I may not be best at everything but I can do
everything.
 There will be limitations but I can do everything.
 I’ll need help but I can do everything.

14.  He had determined to set up a plant for Tana
Nano in India.
 He faced major opposition and struggled with
The land acquisition controversy, acquisition of
the proposed Nano factory of Tata Motors at
[Singur] in Hooghly district, West
Bengal, India.
 Despite of all the problems faced by him, he
didn’t lose hope and soon found a growing
opportunity in Sanand, Gujarat.
 His major concern all the way was not just his
own profit but comfort to the middle-class.

15. Meaning of Failure

16. Ford’s failures at a glance
• He “burned” through all the money from his first group of
investors without producing a car
• He eventually produced a car and raised another
$60,000 in share capital, but his Detroit Auto Company
went bankrupt
• In the 1920s, Henry Ford refused to update the Model T
car, leading sales to fall dramatically
• Ford tried to launch a political career, but never
succeeded

17. Contributor’s Mantra for “SUCCESS”
"Failure is simply an
opportunity to begin
again, this time more
intelligently."
- Henry Ford

18.  We have recently witnessed some brave,
brilliant Indians who displayed the essential
qualities of a contributor.
 They crossed disciplinary boundaries and
gave up comfortable positions in their lives to
contribute to their nation’s well-being.
