Harvard has always fascinated me. It remains a sure shot dream of mine that some day, i have to study in Harvard. Do not exactly know how life will take me there- but have this stange sense of intuition that i will get there:) we all live on a diet of a huge platter of dreams,right? well i have many more- making a trip all by myself to Swiss, visiting Egypt and not to forget Jaipur.
Perhaps idea of Harvard is what triggered me to read up more and discover ways of getting there, should i say at least on their website.. so, here i am.. many of my notes have been published online in HBS working knowledge, the links are given below.At least now, i have the satisfaction that i am someway connected though in a very, very remote way:)
So,get set, here we go......
http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/5834.html - How Sustainable Is Sustainability in a For-Profit Organization?
I believe an organization can sustain itself when there is a constant focus on both long and short term sustainability. It's not waking up one fine day to find that sustainability becomes a topic to discuss and debate or have a sudden strategy session. It should be a constant focus especially when profit organizations tend to grow inorganically in a short timeframe. As an organization moves from one growth phase to the other, sustainability must occupy a place of importance and must push the organization to align/realign its strategies such that sustainability is the foundation on which several other facets emerge. This is especially true for several Information Technology organizations which mostly has inorganic growth. Sustainability then acts as a "push factor" for the organization's upwardly growth.
