SYNOPSIS
The emerging VUCA world needs leaders with a new set of cognitive skills . The talk explores what these skills are and how we can build those skills. The discussion is centred around four cognitive skills – Design Thinking, Exponential Thinking, Sustainable Thinking and Innovative Thinking. The practice of design thinking helps us to empathise with people and pursue human centred design. Exponential thinking enables us to break free of constraints and think big (10X, 100X) – it helps us to shift our ideas from a linear, incremental world to a non-linear, exponential world. Sustainable thinking ensures that our ideas have a positive impact on the environment. Innovative thinking empowers us to think out-of-the-box and build creative solutions. Let us train ourselves to be DESI thinkers and be future-ready.
