Nitin plan to write a few personal blogs himself but is also hopeful that leaders in every field can contribute to this blog as guest authors on how technology can be the winning differentiator! Contributions can be in one of the following catagories:

  • Bold Proposal - Visionary, innovative or paradigm shifting idea yet to be implemented.
  • Work in Progress - Visionary, innovative or paradigm shifting idea currently being implemented.
  • Best Practice - Visionary, innovative or paradigm shifting idea successfully implemented.
  • Learning Experience - Visionary, innovative or paradigm shifting idea that failed to take off.
  • Technology Culture – Ideas to exploit IT department as a strategic asset and a valuable business partner rather than a tactical, technical maintenance and support unit.

Examples of Ideas

In Best Practice, Bold Proposal, Learning Experience, Presentations, Technology Culture, Work in Progress on January 15, 2012 at 10:13 am

Let us give you an example of a new technology proposal — we continue to hear that K-12 education is failing in our great nation. Often discussions quickly move to the quality of teachers, unions, and contracts, etc.  Our question is in today’s technology driven world why can’t we create a “Teacher in a Box” solution and make it available to every student online? This 24 x 7 digital teacher may not fill all the gaps in education but it will allow those who have a hunger for learning opportunity to learn! Just look at what Khan Academy has achieved!

While we are on the topic of “Teacher in a Box” why not stretch our imagination and create a “Doctor in a Box” solution? Clearly there are early signs on apps being created in this direction but nothing firm yet!
