Self Appraisal – A Year Gone By..

I started the year 2014 by announcing publicly my goals for 2014. You can find them here. I now wanted to reflect on the year gone by and do a self-appraisal on my progress from where I started and intended to reach. I had decided that the single word for the year would be “Transformation” – in 5 different realms. Physical Transformation: I am glad that I have been able to  lose 7Kgs and a few inches around my waist. What worked in my favor was getting a fitbit device. The device provided the constant feedback on how I was doing […]

CMO’s are now being forced to understand technology and work closely with their technology peers (CIO’s or CTO’s). And there are some really good […]

Do You Make this Common Mistake?

At the start of the year, I had decided that the theme for me this year was “Transformation“, specifically in 5 different spheres of my life. One of it was to transform my relationship with my son and wife – To spend more time with them with complete attention to them. In a step to achieve that, I tried to reach home earlier than normal yesterday. I reached home and started spending sometime with my 9 year old son. He has exams starting today at school and I was trying to teach him his Maths. In the middle, my phone […]

When I read more about the concept, I kind of liked the entire idea of defining 3 words that will be the foci of all my activities in 2014.  When I sat down to think and reflect on what these 3 words could be, I realized that there is only one word that would become the focus of all my activities in 2014.  And the word is “Transformation“. I would like to […]
