“One's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its
original dimensions.” ― Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr
Team
CED came up with an exciting workshop to open up the vision and make the
students enter into a new world of ideas on 7th October 2013 at FORE
School of Management. The entrepreneurship cell of the college aims at
building, encouraging and promoting a conducive environment for developing
innovative ideas of entrepreneurial ventures among young minds within the
campus. The event which was presided over by Mr. Pravin Rajpal, Founder and CEO
of InnovatioNext Imagination Labs (iLabs), was very well received by the students.
Mr. Pravin has authored best sellers like ‘Achieving Business
Excellence’ and ‘5 Thinkings to Win’, in the year 2007 & 2008. In a span of
five years from 2008-2013, he conducted more than 200 idea factory workshops
for breakthrough ideas. In 2011, he developed CII Innovation Framework &
Measurement Systems and went on to develop India’s first Imagination Lab to
foster breakthrough ideas, in the year 2012.
Talking
about what do recruiters these days look for in their prospective employees,
Mr. Pravin said that in today’s disruptive world, one can either become
distinct or extinct. What separates the creative minds from others is the
ability to transform challenges into opportunities and constraints into
advantages. He further said that chance favours the connected mind. So, if you
are able to connect your thoughts with the needs of people, you can be way
ahead of others. He asked the students to come up with an idea that people
would be willing to invest in and thus multiply your own market value. Through
vivid examples and an interactive session with students, the guest speaker brought
home the fact that instead of reading mythological case studies, one should
focus on becoming a case study himself by doing something concrete.
