October 16th
Our class started with Sir engaging the class in bringing out key elements involved in decision making.
He discussed the below decision making framework created by Ron Howard:
To understand application of this framework, we did a small exercise in which we applied the framework in deciding the career options we would pursue after mba.
In our next session we discussed how creativity is highest in young children and decreases substantially as our education system and upbringing encourages only what is generally acceptable and expected and out of league thinking is discouraged.
In the latter part of session we discussed about The Ladder of Inference:
Describes one of our basic habits of mind: our reflexive use of inference and judgment as if they were statements of fact
In our 2nd class i.e 22nd October
As October 2012 marked the 50th anniversary of Indo –China war , we paid respect to brave soldiers who had laid down their lives for the nation. We discussed what brings about courage in people that they sacrifice their lives.
The discussion brought about below points
Then we saw a video in which Matthieu Ricard talked about what is happiness or well being and how can we all get some. He spoke about difference between happiness and pleasure and that one should look for happiness inside rather than outside as we have higher control on elements inside rather than outside. Then we did the happiness exercise how we rate ourselves on happiness index, happiness relative to others.
Lastly we learnt about a tool called Immunity X-ray , which is a scientific way to understand one’s own thought and getting rid of unproductive habits. People are not able to overcome their habits because they have some hidden competing commitments.
Our class started with Sir engaging the class in bringing out key elements involved in decision making.
He discussed the below decision making framework created by Ron Howard:
- What is the most important question
- Collect meaningful and reliable information
- Define several creative and doable alternatives
- Define logic for evaluation in terms of risk and return
- Values & Trade offs
- Implementation
To understand application of this framework, we did a small exercise in which we applied the framework in deciding the career options we would pursue after mba.

In the latter part of session we discussed about The Ladder of Inference:
Describes one of our basic habits of mind: our reflexive use of inference and judgment as if they were statements of fact
- Our beliefs are the truth
- The truth is obvious
- Our beliefs are based on real data
- The data we select are real data
- We’ve all the data we need

As October 2012 marked the 50th anniversary of Indo –China war , we paid respect to brave soldiers who had laid down their lives for the nation. We discussed what brings about courage in people that they sacrifice their lives.
The discussion brought about below points
- Courage comes from passion
- Courage comes from self-lessness , when you serve a higher cause
- Courage come from inside – the cause for which you are fighting
