Invitation to Aastha
In organisations it is some people who create Top Lines and many
others who join in to translate these into the Bottom Line.
Organisations often focus mostly on task processes and wonder why
things are not happening at 100% of their potential. Increasingly
they are realizing that competencies, technology, compensation - the
tangibles alone, are not enough to make this happen.
So, what is the missing link?
What get missed out are the people processes - the intangibles.
To put people processes in place one has to begin with oneself.
After putting education behind me, I feel ready for the real world -
full of enthusiasm, innovation, idealism: the full dance of the Human Spirit.
A few years down the line in the Organisation exhaustion, fatigue, a
sense of drift may set in! I ask myself "What now?" and
"What next"? Getting increasingly task focused makes me
distant from some realities of life. Questions like "is there
anything more to life?" "is money the only satisfier?"
are avoided. I am left with purposelessness, dryness, meaninglessness
and often cynicism. When I reach this stage I often handle everything
routinely, performing chores mechanically. Yet, I am expected to
provide Customer delight, motivate others, be full of energy -
generally provide an "aha" experience.
I find myself either living in the nostalgia of the
not-too-distant-past or living in a world of future fantasies,
letting the present slip by.......
I often wonder, .Am I alone in feeling so? Are there others like me?
Where do I find my answers? What are my Top line and Bottom line? How
do I find these?

How do I marry the tangibles and intangibles of my life with those of
my organisation?
The process space offers a platform to ask many such meaningful
questions and possibly get relevant answers.
