Should I use a Framework or build from scratch?

In today’s episode we talk about the little big things and the concept of breaking things down. Remember to break things down at their natural boundaries. Nature teaches us the need for creating systems that function as a unit to make the whole. Almost everything is made up of smaller sub-units. If you don’t have experience on best practices and approaches, research and adopt a pre-existing approach, with time, you can then make modifications on this approach based on your own unique experience.

In today’s episode we explore the concept of INDIRECTNESS and other counterintuitive approaches to problem solving. The Indirect approach is a military strategy described and chronicled by B. H. Liddell Hart after World War I. It was an attempt to find a solution to the problem of high casualty rates in conflict zones.

In this episode we talk all about how to stay focus and make yourself anti-fragile. As part of the innovations we engage in, we have to figure out the threats we face and where we fit in the regulatory space. We need to learn the right lessons and work to become anti-fragile. We can’t bring about meaningful change by screaming our discontent from the side-lines. No change in a system can occur without help from insiders in the system. We need to be actively involved. Regulatory Decisions will always be made and if we do not work to get representation in spaces where decisions are being made, we will become victims of the decisions made in these regulatory spaces.
