Expert Perspectives features the valued thoughts of thought leaders across different industries and from diverse domain areas across the world. Our global expert’s share their rich experience while providing deep insights and nuanced perspective on the fundamental topic of best practices.
The primary objective of Expert Perspectives is to establish a Community of Practice (CoP) in different areas of management practice. This rich content is made available to our enriched community of readers who are in constant search of new ways of doing their business.
According to a PWC Report which surveyed more than 2,000 respondents across the US, UK, Germany, and Australia to examine the effect of 40 areas of management practice. It was to find out why some companies vastly outperform their rivals. The finding states that these factors enable dramatic performance premiums – and by taking an integrative approach to these management practices helps leading companies generate outsized advantage.
There are different ways to practice management as it is part science and part art, and science is something that can be largely replicated but the art of management remains an evolving set of practice – the art of management to be constantly synthesized and synchronized. Hence, the power of management practices plays out in its artistic form for managing best performing organizations from the rest.
Good management is the art of making problems so interesting and their solutions so constructive that everyone wants to get to work and deal with

Everything in life is a matter of perspective and perspective is everything in life.
“Putting Things in Perspective…” Life is a classic tussle between “how we look” at things and “what we see” in those things around us. Color and Light are perspective in life…
Our perspective of things in life is subtly but deceptively disguised in our vision. We need to learn the nuanced art of envisioning those things. The seeing is not merely about looking at things through our naked eyes, it is much more than what meet our eyes and it is so much about how we choose to see those things. More so, not the way the things are but the way we want to see those things, and that small shift makes a big difference. There is much more than what meets our eyes, not just our ability to see things but beyond the horizon of our vision.
Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is perspective, not the truth.
– Marcus Aurelis
Energy and Matter is one and the same thing but we look at it differently. Albert Einstein looked at it differently and presented to us the famous equation that has redefined the way we look at the world. The world thereafter has developed a different perspective in seeing at things. Until then we had a different view of matter and energy. That has made all the difference to the world of science.
Perspective is most powerful thing in life and it empowers us provided we develop a positive outlook on life. We need to maintain equanimity when faced with state of disequilibrium in life. This process is best harnessed by nurturing a different perspective. Changing perspective is not as easy as it appears and the appearance is many times perceptively deceptive.
Everything that we learn in life can be learned much better provided we are well equipped with the power of perspective. It is the horizon of perspective that provides an ever expanding view of life that is fascinatingly panoramic. Ironically, there is a much wider problem deeply hidden i.e. largely resides in its narrowly defined lanes and bylanes of our thoughts. Rather it’s the power of perspective that can systematically break every such obstructing boundary whether real or imagined.
The word perspective has a Latin root meaning “look through” or “perceive,” and all the meanings of perspective have something to do with looking.
Perspective provides a range of lens from a point of view of looking at life to the panoramic view of life. We are obliquely locked at one end of the spectrum and therefore life appears parochial as we are latched onto using one set of lens.
Perspective is the foundation to our existence and essentially so fundamental to our learning. We equate a fulfilling life to lifelong learning. We are so much into dissecting learning but not able to decipher the elementary contours of learning. By doing so we are putting ourselves off guard. Forget about fencing any guarded walls of protection.
And then if we keep perspective out of the purview of learning it appears so paradoxical. How do we build on our learning when the foundation and fundamentals are not in place?
This fundamental shift in view can make a significant difference in our way of looking and living life. So happens in few cases where we make that fundamental shift turn out to be a paradigm shift. And we know the grand power of paradigm shift. In the end what matters is the way we perceive things and things remaining the same – we experience the same thing differently from the others as many times we simply cannot change the situation we are put in or the scene that plays in front of us. There are constraints. There are restrained we have to abide by. In the process we are deeply confined and we can only redefine our outlook to look at things differently.
Perspective is not something that comes by default from the experience we have keep gaining in life. There is a proper design to be put in place. It has to be a proven template to develop the power of perspective. It all starts with setting the vocabulary in perspective. Aha! We don’t have a better alternative to occupy this place. Perspective fits in perfectly. That’s it, we choose the best candidate for that coveted position. Of course the definition itself needs a technical overhauling. We need to redefine it. We need to fully understand it. We need to practice it. We need to nurture those nuanced learning and develop perspective with purpose. It’s only then we can employ. We then need to consciously harness and intuitively deploy.
Perspective is the approach to take someone else’s point of view. That someone could be an artist or a scientists or an entrepreneur, more importantly the role that we are not currently playing. These are the things that we have refrained from doing. Those are the thoughts that we have framed and resist from reframing. When we wear someone else’s hat we start to hear a different note and we start to see a different color, and we begin to connect the missing dots. The picture emerges otherwise the silhouettes were deceptively submerged somewhere.
We are on the mission of making best practices an integral part of working in every business organization.
