Priti D’Souza, Senior Manager – Delivery Excellence, TCS

It was a great program. Each competency was highly useful-

Creativity and Innovation – I learnt scientific ways of finding creative solutions to the problems through TRIZ matrix.

AHP – Multiple paired comparison that allows you to compare apples and oranges and to derive at a decision. This is much better than pugh-matrix and enables better decision making.

TOC – How to look at organization wide constraints and prioritize areas to improve upon. TOC allows operations to speak financial language and gain confidence of top level management and support for projects. Most importantly, it is a tool through which we can demonstrate impact of projects on 3 important financial metrics.

Alex Fernandes, General Manager, Account Management, Teamlease Services Limited

It was a good training. I really liked the following aspects-

Creativity and Innovation- The realization that TRIZ can be used for almost all industries.

BVA- Capability of having meaningful communication with leadership and getting your point across in the most effective way.

AHP- I always considered that selecting an option from a list can never be made scientific and will always be based on individual intuition. AHP has brought in some science to this belief.
