The ‘Unstuck’ Factor: Why Strategy Offsites Need a Neutral Catalyst

Image
By Sandeep Jain , CEO at Value Unlocked Most strategy offsites don’t fail because leaders lack intelligence, data, or ambition. They fail because everyone in the room is already invested in an answer. Hierarchies linger, unspoken agendas surface, and conversations orbit familiar ground. The result is motion without progress—alignment on paper, ambiguity in reality. Breakthrough strategy requires more than presence. It requires neutrality. The most effective offsites introduce an external facilitator not to add opinions, but to remove friction. A neutral catalyst shifts the room from advocacy to inquiry, from positional debate to collective clarity. History offers a useful parallel. The greatest breakthroughs—scientific or strategic—rarely emerge from closed loops of agreement. They emerge when assumptions are surfaced, questioned, and reassembled with discipline. Below is a leadership playbook for why external facilitation unlocks the “unstuck” factor in strategy offsites: 1. Neutralit...

Image
-An exclusive interview with Mr VINOD DUA , Strategic Director, Pfarmex Healthtech , Paulomi Roy Q1. What challenges do companies face in handling insights today? The biggest challenge is fragmentation—scientific data sits across reports, decks, and informal channels. Insights often arrive too late to guide the decisions. The data is treated as a task rather than an asset. Despite heavy investments, less than 20% of insights shape strategy. The challenge is not the information scarcity but interpretation lags. Q2. Why is Medical Affairs (MA) becoming so critical now? MA is the scientific conscience of an organization but has often been limited to compliance in India. When empowered, it bridges clinical outcomes, post-marketing evidence, and field learnings. In branded generics market, the medical narrative is a key differentiator. Q3. What makes Pfarmex’s approach unique? PfarmexTM brings structured intelligence to an area traditionally driven by individual interpretation. It blends ev...

From Startup Dream to SCM Powerhouse: The Rise of Prabhjot Singh and SCM Champs

Image
Every transformational journey begins with clarity. For Prabhjot Singh Nayyar, that clarity came from years spent on warehouse floors, in logistics control rooms, and in the heart of real-world supply chain operations. Those experiences shaped a simple belief: technology delivers impact only when it aligns with the realities of the business. When Prabhjot founded SCM Champs, he set a bold vision: We will not be generalists who try to do everything. We will be specialists who deliver SAP Supply Chain excellence with precision, passion, and accountability . He wanted to create a firm where client success and client happiness are inseparable—and a culture where employees feel valued, empowered, and challenged by meaningful work. Seeing firsthand how siloed systems and misaligned processes cripple performance, Prabhjot built SCM Champs with a purpose: to champion operational excellence by unlocking the true value of SAP’s Digital Supply Chain ecosystem. What began as an entrepreneurial l...

The Missing Ingredient in AI Accuracy: Context

Image
“How contextual intelligence transforms unstructured data, complex documents, and workflows into precise, role-aware answers.” Context is what transforms AI from a generic responder into an intelligent partner that understands intent, purpose, and nuance. Without context, even the most advanced model behaves like a search engine with no history—capable of giving correct information but often irrelevant to the user’s real need. In the enterprise, this gap becomes costly. A sales manager asking about “pipeline health” needs dynamic, role-aware insights—not textbook definitions. When AI can interpret intent based on persona, history, and content, responses become far more accurate, relevant, and trustworthy.

Amit Arvind Thatte: Rethinking Road Safety Through Design, Data, and Discipline

Image
For over two decades, India’s roads have been quietly transformed by a leader who believes that safety is not enforced—it is engineered. Mr. Amit Arvind Thatte , Founder of Kataline Limited (formerly Kataline Infra-Products Pvt. Ltd.), has spent more than 25 years at the intersection of science, engineering, and driver behaviour, reimagining how roads communicate with those who use them. His work is grounded not in theory, but in relentless on-ground execution—across Himalayan passes, monsoon-lashed coastal highways, dense urban corridors, and high-speed expressways. Long before advanced road marking technologies became mainstream in India, Amit championed solutions such as cold plastic markings, wet-night visible systems, long-life materials, audio-tactile lines, and permeable pavements. His approach was simple yet powerful: reduce uncertainty and improve speed calming measures for road users, and accidents reduce naturally. “Most accidents aren’t caused by speed alone,” he often not...

AI in Supply Chain: A Broken Promise or Missed Opportunity? -By Kshitij Sharma

Image
For years, AI has been celebrated as the technology that will transform supply chains end to end — from demand sensing to autonomous planning to logistics optimization. The narrative has been clear: AI will fix everything. But after working closely with global supply chain leaders and witnessing countless transformations up close, the truth is far more nuanced.   Why AI Fails in Supply Chains AI isn’t failing because the algorithms are weak. It’s failing because organization’s approach it with the wrong mindset. - Process Failures - Automating broken workflows only accelerates inefficiency. - Disconnected Plan–Source–Make–Deliver processes create variability, bullwhip effects, and inflated costs. - AI cannot optimize chaos—it needs integrated, streamlined processes. - People Failures - Tools without skilled users = wasted investment. - Lack of trust in “black box” outputs leads to resistance and poor adoption. - Without change management and role redesign, AI remains ...

Tired of meetings that feel like a boxing match? Here’s a leadership playbook to turn discussion into decisive action.

Image
By Sandeep Jain, CEO, Value Unlocked Most meetings don’t fail because leaders lack expertise or preparation. They fail because the room is optimized for advocacy rather than understanding. Positions harden, voices compete for airtime, and the conversation drifts toward defending viewpoints instead of solving the real problem. The highest-quality decisions emerge when leaders deliberately shift from asserting answers to examining questions. History consistently shows this pattern. Think of Albert Einstein, whose breakthroughs were driven not by faster conclusions but by deeper inquiry. The same discipline is required in executive rooms today. Below is a practical meeting playbook designed for leaders who want rigor, not noise: 1. Anchor the meeting to the decision Open with precision: “What consequential decision must be made by the end of this discussion?” 2. Discipline the room to inquiry first Structure the opening phase around problem definition only. Solutions follow understanding,...

Why AI Without Observability Is Technical Debt in Disguise

Image
By Suresh Kumar Grandhisiri As enterprises rapidly move toward AI-driven systems, one critical truth is becoming clearer: AI without observability is not innovation — it’s technical debt waiting to surface. Modern AI pipelines run across distributed systems, multi-cloud environments, dynamic data flows, and autonomous decision layers. Without deep observability embedded into these stacks, organizations are essentially “flying blind.” They cannot trace model behavior, detect drift, understand anomalies, or ensure accountability. As I often emphasize, “When an AI system cannot tell you how it behaves under stress, it’s not an asset — it’s a liability.” Observability is far more than logs, metrics, and dashboards. It is the ability to make the invisible visible — model reasoning, data lineage, performance signals, dependency chains, and operational health across the entire lifecycle. Just as observability reshaped modern DevOps and SRE practices, AI observability is now reshaping how we b...

Image
A Conversation with Transformation Leader Megha Singh Nandiwal As companies across industries shift from ops-heavy execution to product-led, tech-driven growth, many find themselves at a pivotal moment.
