We are a consultancy based in Bombay. that commenced work in 1982 ! But we believe that our past should not be considered. We help develop thought processes that enable individuals and companies in India to devise strategies for their future, so as to manage within "uncertainty". Past references in a non linear era have little credibility because the future is unlikely to emulate past patterns.

We believe that this is a Non Linear era. (Read: 'Why NLT ?' ) and NEW ideas must be created & accepted from NEW sources. We need to restrain the reflex instinct to always seeks "past-based references" as 'a measure of credibility'. We can change if we train our minds to read, listen and think WITHOUT THE REFLEX NEED TO FIRST IDENTIFY THE PAST EXPERIENCE WITHIN THE SOURCE OF INFORMATION.

• OUR SYSTEM OF EVALUATION MUST ALLOW MORE INPUT IN THIS AGE OF OPEN MEDIA.
• WE NEED TO CREATE SYSTEMS THAT PERMIT AND RECEIVE THE INPUT FROM MILLIONS OF BRILLIANT MINDS IN INDIA WITHOUT REQUIRING TO KNOW THEIR PAST! NEW TALENT REMAINS THE MOST VALUABLE; UNUTILISED RESOURCE WITHIN OUR COUNTRY.
• OUR PRINT MEDIA IS UNFORTUNATELY OBLIGED TO SUPPORT THOSE WHO HAVE ECONOMIC CLOUT FOR THEIR OWN ECONOMIC REASONS.
• THE WEB OFFERS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR NEW IDEAS AND INPUTS WITH GREATER FOCUS ON OUR FUTURE & YOUTH.

The internet need not be dependant on "special interest or big business" as this media is not as expensive to maintain as the "printed" one.

Do You Need A Solution ?

You could find our inputs useful ONLY IF you acknowledge -

• That your corporate, product or service is affected by complexity and uncertainty in this non linear era where resources have to be conserved.
• You are willing to be transparent about the past and adopt transparency as the norm in the future.
• You need to identify and create “competitive differentiators within your business processes that are perceived and visible to your customers and the market.
• You must be quite aware of your problems, because in a Non Linear Era you are most likely know which principal event or error was the starting point of trouble.
• That knowing your resource limitations would be your first move towards transparency; intended to save time and costs when seeking solutions!
  So what should you expect a consultant to do for you in an era where past successes and experience cannot provide the NEW direction and solution? Where there is extreme competition. Complexity and uncertainty consultants SHOULD NOT be hired just to help you identify your problem!! Within rapid change solutions for the future do not emerge from “research or study of the majority” BUT from ‘IDENTIFYING THE SMALLEST CHANGES THAT ARE TAKING PLACE IN THE MARKETS AND CUSTOMER BEHAVIOUR!
  
  Even solutions are relatively easy to identify!
  

The critical need is to 'prioritize and select the chronology of implementation based on a strategy devised as per your objectives. In non linear markets, within complexity and extreme competition the Implementation of the solution" is more difficult than "identification of the problem" !"COMPLEXITY and UNCERTAINTY" must be accepted as an environmental standard.

If you seek Solutions for your Business then READ ON . . . . .

a) Start by expressing your problem honestly and transparently OR if it is a NEW business for which you seek market entry strategies.
b) Describe your business in terms of product or service offered and its current market and commercial status if it is an existing business.

• PARTICIPATIVE CONSULTANCY: You can choose to participate in a workshop with maximum 3 other clients very clearly in “non competitive products and services”. While this is a lower cost IT IS ALSO useful because Non Linear Thinking is a thought process and the conceptual approach to every product or service would provide substantial strategic inputs applicable for all. The objective of NLT is in any case to empower the corporate or individual to find solutions with MINIMAL REPETITIVE NEED FOR EXTERNAL CONSULTANTS. The fee varies depending on the “client grouping” of THE THREE. The minimum for small business groups can be Rs 25,000 for each client for the 4-6 hour session.
• ONE-ON-ONE CONSULTANCY: You would require to submit details as required in a) and b) above. You would receive an offer for a minimum 4 hour session based on details submitted, depending on the size of market being addressed. ( Turnover and market size determine the extent of INPUTS required.)
  
  TIME REQUIRED - The offer would be sent within 15 days of receiving your details BUT the session schedule would usually require at least 3 to 4 weeks for “Participative sessions within a Non Competitive group. For ONE ON ONE sessions 2 weeks would be the minimum time required to schedule the first meeting.

PRIOR TO ALL CLIENT INTERFACE all problems are also presented to a select panel of YOUNG MINDS who are Non Linear Thinkers. NO COMPANY NAME OR BRAND OR POTENTIAL CLIENT IDENTITY IS REVEALED TO THE PANEL. You could receive the attention of UPTO 25 minds who think within nonlinearthinking.com, making this perhaps your lowest cost point for lateral business solutions.
