He started the session by underscoring how history has proved that we are all intrinsically resistant to change. Then he went on to elaborate on five things that are needed for effective change management, which are-
• Start by thinking small
• Make them big by expanding the main objective
• Ensure that people adopt the changes in question
• Know how to get there
• Learn how to measure the outcomes
In this context, Mr. Banerjee highlighted a very interesting fact – Success is as much an accident as failure is. Therefore, it is essential that we attach as much significance to learning from success as we do to learning from failure. The ability to replicate success is of paramount importance.
Talking about challenges in entrepreneurship, Mr. Banerjee emphasized on "fear of the unknown" as the biggest hurdle. He explained that risk-aversion cannot go hand-in-hand with entrepreneurial ventures and that there is no point in wasting time trying to polish an idea, rather, if there is an idea, time should be judiciously devoted to executing it.
Commenting on how to increase one's sphere of influence, Mr. Banerjee urged the students not to keep their spheres of influence limited to work.
The crisp and enthralling lecture was concluded by an interactive Q&A round that provided the students a deeper understanding of a variety of matters ranging from features of NSE transactions to overselling vs. underselling of ideas in entrepreneurship.
