Navrang....just for namesake

'Navrang', hindi for 9 colours. But that's not what we are going to discuss today. Of course a management lesson would accompany it.
Here we are back, people, with our series of discussion on the course of Principles of Organization and Management.

So what did our Prof Mandi had to offer with Navrang. Well, a very peculiar kind of a toy. I am getting used to this way of teaching with toys- to see something so innocent as a bunch of blocks turn into something that can easily pass as a management jargon.
I mean have a look at it..

This is stuff for kindergarten students but the message it delivers would be difficult to be understood by Post Graduates like us. Anyhow, moving on.

So, what is an organization composed of? Elements, sections, departments. And the melodrama continues. Connect that to navrang, each of the 27 small fragments form an element which work cohesively to form a rod, or say, section, and three such sections combine together to form a department(here plate).

And what do these departments make up when they come together? Well, they make up an organization.

So, Professor Mandi gave us a task to make this cube with each face of the cube having distinct colours. It might sound easy, but many of the students who took the onus to complete it, couldn't get it done.

However, when you orchestrate each move in a proper pattern, things just turn out to be fairly easy.

This is what happen in organizations. Random, haphazard movements never turn into something great. Planned and properly guided steps turn into a larger picture which is befitting to be called an organization.

I have attached a video of how to solve this puzzle of navrang with 9 cubes of different colour on each face.
