Ankita KatdareA little introduction of Mr. Bansod -
Abhijit Bansod is a quirky designer who thinks not just out of the box, but out of the whole carton. His products are not only prism to a whimsical wit and a love of surprise, but they also conjure pain and emotion. They escape the Pandora's box of mere functionality to beautifully revealed stories and poemsΓ’Β¦and interact with their users, heightening creativity and imagination.
His website - #-Link-Snipped-# -
Ambarish GaneshDesigns(culturally aesthetic)- well, he's been there, done that! π #TITAN
-
ISHAN TOPREIt doesn't mean that you need to an engineering company for innovating.

π you are making it look boring.Punch_a_TantraOk! The cocktail-dinner after this session is what keeping me interested!
People we have the MD of Global Logic - Mr. Sunil Singh. He has a ppt titled 'Innovation By Design' -
ISHAN TOPRE1. Align your board to realities.
The old "expectation" is unrealistic.
eg. top line, margin#
BUT may need to make some investments so take a hit on profitability. -
Ambarish Ganesh
It IS boring! π΄AbraKaDabraπ you are making it look boring.
People we have the MD of Global Logic - Mr. Sunil Singh. He has a ppt titled 'Innovation By Design' -
ISHAN TOPRE2. For sales driven organization we get closer to existing customers. New business will be harder as the customers are cutting back.
BUT for existing customers you are a "trusted"partner to "to get things done" that they are not doing with other vendors. -
ISHAN TOPRE
I am doing it! Pardon me. Go and bring me a coffee. πPunch_a_TantraIt IS boring! π΄ -
ISHAN TOPRE3. Experiment in your products.
This may be the time to introduce a "lower cost" and "lower resistance to buying" product lines.
Example: Enterprise license to SaaS.
BUT Be aware that they also require a whole new set of execution realities.
-Cash flow, sales force change. -
ISHAN TOPRE4. Work harder on your ecosystem.
-
Ankita KatdareThe points that he is discussing are more relevant to the people who have established a business and are in the game for a good amount of years. For startups - its just a lot of jargon.
-
ISHAN TOPRE5. Acquire a laser focus on "what works".
Example: segment your market and wins to understand where you get the "most bang for the buck"
Kaboodle went from a "general shop marketing" to a "women high fashion social--> immediately acquired hearst media. -
ISHAN TOPRE6. PIVOT: may be the whole business?
Reassess your business model. Do not do it frequently and do not do it at wrong time. -
ISHAN TOPRERemembering point 6. Is it same as TPS? No, TPS means treating your suppliers and partners as an extended part of your business.
-
ISHAN TOPRE7. Acquire or get acquired.
