My India top 11 - based on a recent trip...

The India top 11

The Good

The Bad

o Open to new ideas! Open to change!

o Conflicting performance measures across disciplines resulting in overall chaos across the system

o The opportunity is NOW! I guess the size of the population to affect something

o Need for greater organization, most things operate as islands unto themselves

o Everything is a social process, strong support system. Guess the joint family extends far & beyond

o Overly complex systems, it is no surprise every western company invested in India operates as a JV

o Institutions that work! Financial, Taxation, Post, Logistical, Information & Media, etc.

o Lack of originality, resulting in a lot of “Monkey see Monkey do”

o Faith based system with a strong culture

o Negative motivation works! The system perpetuates delivery against the fear of punishment

o

o Lack of overall trust & fear of the next person... everyone for themselves resulting in competitiveness

I just added the 11th.
