Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

THRIVING ON CHAOS (HANDBOOK FOR MANAGEMENT REVOLUTION) - TOM PETERS)

 


====================================================================================

When I read any book, I scribble my comments / notes in the margins


These reflect my views / opinions about what the author is saying – including my disagreement

Often, my comments are in the nature of telling myself :

Hey ! We should try out this idea in our own business ( Head-hunting / Online Recruitment )

Following are my comments re :

==================================================================================

 

Page no. 11

·         Project OCTOPUS, will resemble this –it & when implemented.

Page no. 15

·         Average Tokyo has 121 sq. ft.

Page no. 51

·         The word “Mass-customization” arrived only around 2000.

Page no. 53

·         Without “web service,” we are trying to create a New Market. None exists today (01-05-03).

Page no. 54

·         .NET project EGO/CYBER HR-XML

Page no. 56

·         We will start by delivering to corporates, Butterfly “resumes, against their job-advt then create market for WEBSERVICE of Global Recruiter.

Page no. 59

·         Land-line picture phones have not arrived and mobile picture phones have just started to arrive! (01-05-03).

·         Will HR mgrs. understand & appreciate Buffer Fly Resume?

·         Could our “Global Recruiter” Are Indian HR managers, ready for we service? AND: they are not. But it will be our job to educate them!

Page no. 136

·         “Butter Fly” version of resume is UNIQUE!

·         If we treat “jobsites” as our main competitors (for our web service- not our head hunting practice) then, as of now, none has anything comparable to Resumine/resusearch.

Page no. 139

·         Our “head hunting” business comes here

·         Our “web service” business should emerge here. Low cost (because of highly automated self service)

·         Mass customization

·         Mass – Reach

·         Prepaid/pay-per-use revenue model.

·         First Mover advantage

Page no. 142

·         This is why in 2 yrs. web service Group will be spun –off as a separate company.

Page no. 238

·         Under “Project EGO” I want 60,000 (initial) job seekers to talk to their friends/ colleagues about the “Butterfly” version of their resumes. Hopefully the “chain-reaction” will start & reach millions. Under “Project- CYBER” I want Butterfly Resumes to start arriving in thousand on the desktops of Recruiting Managers who are our ultimate potential clients for our web service.

Page no. 240

·         This was written in 1989. Not true wide spread of Internet.

·         Cyber capes & jobsites (for us)

·         Today`s Advt.by RELIANCE, says it managed to “lock-in“10 million customers (for cell-phone)in 100 days! With 30 million call-minutes/days (: it is free?) 

Page no. 241

·         Thou jobseekers Butter fly resumes, circulating amongst Recruiters, we are creating a “BUZZ” amongst Recruiting professionals!

·         Eg: our efforts with L&T.

·         At its peak DO-CO-MO (Japan`s cell phone service WGS booking 28000 customer/day! Has 42 million in 3 yrs!!

 

Page no. 401

·         Even as we are trying to stabilize project Manhattan, it is likely to die as a result of projects EGO/CYBER.

·         We have to be constantly aiming & shooting at an elusive/moving target.

·         And we want to set in motion a revolution-in recruiting –thru a VIRTUAL EMPLUYMENT

Page no.402

·         Global people Resourcing system (GPRS) will Trans from the working lives of HR managers

Page no. 408

·         Theodore le will wrote the same thing in his essay “Marketing Myopia” way back in early sixties.

Page no. 472

·         Monster/jobs Ahead/ Naukri/Mafoi

·         GPRS

·         Global Recruiters web service of ResuMine & Research.

Page no.475

·         I am always in first past 44 years!

·         A sure sing of first–class leadership.

 Page no.477

·         If any of the projects, Manhattan-Ego-cyber, fail to produce desired results (1million resumes in 6months) then we should scuttle them unceremoniously! We must discard all “Historical baggage” maybe we will then, try, OPERATION BLACK_HOLE! Or “JAWS” or something else.
