Entrepreneurial Leadership & Innovation--
Mission Impossible: Crises Fuel Creativity and Innovation (Dr. Jay Rao, Babson College, USA, 2 hrs.)
This session will help you to understand how accomplished entrepreneurs, scientists, artists and enterprises use a simple, common and age-old technique to get more innovative and creative.
Jerry Sternin arrived in Vietnam in 1990 to open an office for the UK charity Save the Children, to fight malnutrition there. Sternin was given 6 months to make a difference, with little staff and no resources. Conventional wisdom dictated that malnutrition was a complex problem that stems from poor sanitation, widespread poverty, rampant illiteracy, and lack of pure water. Dozens of experts had analyzed the situation in Vietnam, written research documents and development plans. But nothing had changed. Sternin started with one village. He quickly found a few creative mothers were using ingenious solutions to keep their young ones far better than most. Six months after he started, 65% of the kids in that village were better nourished. Soon, the program reached 265 villages across Vietnam and drastically reduced malnutrition among children. This has now been replicated in many other poorer countries.
