The Recipe!

The recipe is at the crux of a good meal!

While you know there is a need to cater to, the method of making the end combination and the method to serve delivers the experience.

There are numerous examples of services that provided delight right after they were served on a platter.

Take, for example, Whatsapp. The app is simple, intuitive, and lets you fulfill your hunger for group and private communications rather effortlessly. Users adore the app. They don't hesitate to share the most important happening of their life via it. The app turns into a preferred method to connect and share. Over time, it goes viral globally.

Or take another example of a natural vegetable juice maker by the street side in a city. In the wee hours of the morning, she delivers combinations of healthy mixes. In the process, she develops incredible connections beyond her product transactions. It's because the buyers get fulfillment from the story behind her product. No matter the season or the weather. She is there for them with personalized combination recipes tirelessly. Over time, the buyer feels proud of being associated with the makers' journey. The maker goes viral locally.

Virality is an after-effect of offering a believable recipe that planted itself in your daily need. A result of spotting the unfulfilled part of the routine and assembling a combination thoughtfully as you would for daily food and drink needs.

Recipes make actions predictable, demand quality participation from those actions, and address the exact needs of those for whom the action is created.

Every delightful experience is a result of a rightly conceived and well-orchestrated recipe. 

In fast-changing environments, there is ever increasing focus on adaptive recipes that serve the test of time.

Chefs - the recipe creators - spontaneous original thinkers, are the need of the time.

The recipes are merely Chef's ideas!

Checks and balances!

Defining a good purpose, setting a target goal and getting people working on them is usually not enough! There are too many aspects involved in getting the results we want. For example, there is an aspect of painting the big picture, working on motivation management, productivity tracking, building experimentation labs, and erecting resilient systems that systematize the workflows. Just putting bodies to work and defining milestones rarely achieves the right results. The other aspects that help march towards the milestones in an orderly manner, they are equally important. At the very least, they make objectives widely understandable and results more attainable. The job of a thought leader is to enable progress and enable recovery. Therefore, it is never enough to have just ideas. Those with ideas also have the responsibility to assemble the work environment in such a way as to create situations containing the energy disperses. Energy dispersal from lack of clarity, loss of motivation, ...

Choking the communication channel.

There are instances where everything looks in order. Structures are rightly in place. Right roles are defined. Responsibilities are distributed. Bi-directional open communication is expected to take place. And with that, collective work is expected to turn out productive. Yet, when the action begins, everything breaks apart. Productivity dwindles, cooperation is missing, and ad-hoc interactions are common-place That creates chaos. No one appears in charge even though there is someone responsible. It clearly is a sign of broken communication channels. A well-orchestrated workplace focuses on methods to communicate grounds-up and top-down. It encourages patient listening, internalizing and responding rather than reacting. All effective open communication channels are a result of making such communication possible. Often, the structures are set such that you centralize communication of every bit of your activity to someone in the hierarchy. Over time it turns into a permission-based inter...

Top up.

An effort of any kind will stop without a top-up mechanism. The cooking range doesn't work without gas. When petrol runs out, vehicles don't work. In the absence of solar panels, green energy is just a dream. Such issues apply to us humans too. Our ability to work hampers seriously if we don't have an energy replenishment plan. We think we enjoy the most when we do work involving our passions. We think tirelessly doing the same activity will keep our enthusiasm. Like writer's block, there comes a day when our ideas don't work. Monotony dries up the fun. What used to be the reason to be at work feels like the most dreaded place. When we encounter such a situation, it's time to check if our energy tank is emptying out fast enough that we need to land to refuel. Top up is a vital periodic part that recharges us. Different activities, places or people might refuel us with new energy and ideas. But first, be open to knowing you will run out of fuel. Sooner or later, ...
