Mastering Decision-Making: The Shift from Urgent Choices to Strategic Green Decisions

Decisioning – Green Decisions

What is a Decision?

During the day we make hundreds of decisions, some consciously and most of them unconsciously. Driving from home to office alone requires 100 plus decisions of controlling steering, raise, brakes.

Thus, the human mind is prepared to make decisions naturally. But here we are talking about business decisions.

What are the business decisions?

Any estimated scope, efforts, cost, price, timelines, conflict handling, person selection, team selection, and product selection qualifies for business decisions.

The purpose of leadership is to design algorithms to make variability of decisions, from rule-based to template-based knowledge book-based. These Business algorithms once designed makes organisation moving towards “Self managed organisation”. The leaders keep removing the mystery of decision-making to algorithms on a month-on-month basis. Algorithmising decision-making creates time for the leader to lead and design the market, products, and systems.

We still need to make decisions for unknown spaces. We need to design and plan our time for maximum impact. In this situation, decisions get connected to forward detailed planning of one’s calendar for the next 90 days in detail and the next 180 days on a week-by-week basis.

Unknown-unknown or first-time problems require skills in Cartographic mapping of problem space, stakeholder mapping, and end objectives. These problems can be solved individually or with a group of peers/experts/advisors.

Decision can also be categorised into two buckets
1 Important planned and designed decisions vs
2 Unplanned and urgent category.

I call the first category of decisions healthy decisions or Green Decisions, while category B qualifies as “diseased decisions” or forced decisions.

Vision, objective and strategic planning play a critical role in more Green decisions.

Courage: The Driving Force Behind Decisive Action in Uncertain Times

What is Courage?

Is courage a Heroism?
Is courage a Risk taking?
Is courage a dealing with uncertainty?
Is courage an emotion or an action?
What is the link between Courage, Conviction and Decisiveness?

Courage to my mind is a force of Action during cloudy future time. It’s a commitment to something partially known or directionally right based either intuition or certain patterns.

Courage requires decisive action and series of decision inspite of early failures. Courage requires not to listening to voice of external skeptics or self doubts during the journey.

Cycle time from Thought, Idea to architecture to decision. This cycle time varies from a few days to a few months to a few years.

Unleashing the Power of Inspiration: Elevating Self-Belief and Expanding Potential

Inspiration: What is inspiration?

Is inspiration a ‘feel good’ emotion or something more?

What is the relation between Inspiration and Motivation?

1. Inspiration is a force transmitted to team members through dialogue and role-modelling behaviour. Once transmitted, this force multiplies many folds in the thinking space through the ‘inspired person’.

2 . The Inspiration force acts on a person’s self-belief system and expands his/her Thinking space, which in turn expands his/her ‘Can do’ Canvas.

Harnessing Purple Fabric DIMS for AI-powered Document Intelligence Management

Before the 1990 era of technology, we worked on file systems. Oracle created a new era of Database Management Systems along with competing products like Sybase, Ingres, DB2 etc.This created a category called DBMS. Over the last 30 years, DBMS has been an essential foundational technology for every enterprise.

In the era of AI to Enterprise Connected Intelligence (ECI), 70% of decision-grade knowledge is sitting in documents and websites. I recognise the enormous relevance and potential in converting document knowledge to document intelligence.

PF DIMS: Purple Fabric Document Intelligence Management System helps enterprise create AI-based document intelligence, and consume it as an API, in any downstream or upstream applications.

PF DIMS is a synthesis of 4 high-performance technologies: Document Ingestion Technology;Classification Technology; Extraction Technology; and Trusted Data Technology.

PF DIMS has 150 ready-to-data connectors to consume data from third-party data sources including web crawling for contextual documents. DIMS uses MongoDB for unstructured data and uses ML algorithms along with Gen AI LLM or SLM, to design Decision Grade Data.

At Intellect Design Arena Ltd, we are using PF DIMS to build products like Magic Submissions, APX, eMACH.ai Lending, Wealth, Trade, Underwriting, ESG and specialised use cases for customers.

Exclusive AI Boot Camp to explore the power of Purple Fabric in financial institutions 

During the last 90 days since we launched the very unique AI to Enterprise Connected Intelligence Technology – Purple Fabric, we have been getting validation of the white space in the Industry.

Palantir Technologies as an AI for ops has built a good enterprise platform for imagining and using Gen AI and ML by enterprise users themselves. As Financial Institutions explore how best to adopt AI, they are best served by enterprise-grade AI platforms specifically designed for financial services. That’s where Purple Fabric comes in, leveraging three decades of Intellect Design Arena Ltd’s deep domain specialisation across the world.

Purple Fabric launched by Intellect after 7 years of contextual research helps business managers and product managers imagine possible safe use cases for designing future products by themselves. The product PF Imagine helps Product Managers design and embed Gen AI use cases using the LLM of their choice – without the interface of Data Scientists. They can individually imagine the power of Expert Agents in the product design life cycle, after 2 days of boot camp.

In the last 90 days, Purple Fabric has gone live with 5 clients and we have conducted over 20 boot camps and generated over 50 leads from various enterprises.

I am extending a special invite to SMEs, Heads of Departments and Product Managers to our exclusive AI Boot Camp on August 29 and 30 in Chennai. You can explore how AI can simplify operations across specified functions and discussions within a financial institution through this Boot Camp.

My Diary – Finding Beauty and Commerce in the Wonders of Nature

Nature

Nature is a true example of Beauty unlimited – you just needs an eye to observe from design of plants, flowers, fruits, animals, blue sky with colours, Oceans, multiple weathers.

Nature is Pure Science known or unknown – you just need a curious and persistent mind to connect the dots into algorithms or phenomenons.

Nature produces entire Commerce for keeping all humans engage in our lives. It’s only we design derivatives of original products from metal to food to create so called ‘economic value’.

Exploring Forgotten Periods of Prosperity in History for Lessons on Holistic Well-being and Sustainable Societies

We have studied major events in history books. Most of the events are recorded around major wars and change of power. In Indian history, we remember Alexander’s (Sikandar) war and the birth of Chandragupta and then Ashoka Kalinga’s war which was in 2 BC. Then lots of wars between the 11th century till our recent independence.

Between these invasions there were long periods of great prosperity for 300 to 600 years (12 generations to 24 generations) which are not at all documented in our history. These periods are much longer than the entire industrial transformation over the last 175 years.

What were those successes?
A. Systems – Political, Economic, Social
B. Processes – Education and Health
C. Governance – Empowerment and conflict resolutions

The modern ‘ism’ like Communism and Capitalism have completed just over 150 to 200 years and they start showing that it’s cracking.

How do we retrieve those knowledge systems that may have possible learnings of holistic happiness built around spirituality, expertise and interdependent livelihoods with lesser greed, selfishness, ego and violence?
