In today's rapidly evolving academic landscape, the need for human-centered, future-focused approaches like Design Thinking has never been more critical. We consistently hear from industry leaders about the gap between graduate skills and employer expectations, highlighting the urgent need for a shift in educational paradigms. India's National Education Policy (NEP 2020) rightly emphasizes Design Thinking as an essential skill. However, it's more than just a subject; it's a mindset. It's about fostering the ability to connect the dots between domain knowledge and real-world industry problems – the very essence of employability. In our latest blog, we delve into key areas where Design Thinking can transform education: ?????? ???????????? ?????????????? ?????????? ????. ??????????????????????:?We explore how traditional education often focuses on skills and expertise, but lacks the crucial element of perspective – the ability to visualize and connect multiple expertise at a business level. Our '5 Forces of Growth - SEPIA?' framework addresses this by guiding individuals from skill to expertise to perspective, fostering innovation through alignment. ?????? ?????????????? ?????? ??????????????:?Students often struggle to see the correlation between different subjects, hindering their ability to apply knowledge across contexts. Our 'Business Wired Knowledge Maps?' framework, a cartographic perspective tool, helps students visualize their curriculum and understand how individual subjects connect. This 'Knowledge Shelving' approach facilitates 'connecting the dots' and fosters a deeper understanding of the syllabus. ???????????????? ???? ?????????????? ?????????????? ?????????? ????. ???????????????? ???? ?????????????????? ??????????:?Bridging the gap between academic collaboration and real-world teamwork requires a focus on human-centricity and empathy. Tools like 'Persona' play a crucial role in understanding stakeholders and improving team dynamics. We believe Design Thinking can revolutionize education by fostering a mindset of innovation, problem-solving, and empathy. We invite you to explore our blog and case study to see how Design Thinking can transform your educational ecosystem. Let's discuss how we can equip your faculty with Design Thinking skills through our flagship programs. https://lnkd.in/gpiKKf2J #DesignThinking #Education #NEP2020 #Innovation #Employability #HumanCenteredDesign #FutureOfEducation

Leadership is ultimately a contextual journey. As the first batch of Leadership Development Acceleration Program 1 (LDAP1) enters its final phase, Intellect takes pleasure in hosting Dr. Shiv Shivakumar for an exclusive session on ‘Being an Inspiring Leader’. With an illustrious career spanning top leadership roles – including Group Executive President at Aditya Birla Group, Chairperson & CEO at PepsiCo India, and CEO for Emerging Markets at Nokia – Dr. Shivakumar is widely recognised for his expertise in Organisational Strategy, Leadership, and Transformation. During his address to our leaders, Shiv emphasised four key pillars – self-discovery, problem-solving, conflict resolution, and inspiring leadership – using real-life examples from his career. He also spoke about the evolving nature of leadership, highlighting that it is a journey rather than a destination. He also outlined the different roles at various levels – junior managers focus on execution, middle managers on process and coaching, senior managers on handling complexities, and leaders on shifting mindsets. Encouraging leaders to stay relevant, he urged them to invest in self-education, expand their professional networks, and actively contribute to their ecosystem, reinforcing that leadership is a lifelong process of learning, evolving, and making an impact. Shiv also visited our 8012 FinTech Design Center (the World’s first Transformation Center dedicated to Design Thinking Principles) and admired how it co-creates products that go beyond the expectations of its stakeholders and customers. LDAP is a twelve-month experiential learning program especially crafted in line with Intellect 3.0 vision, which aims to enhance the leadership capabilities. The programme focuses on a process of experiencing, dialogue, reflecting and learning on relevant themes to develop an authentic and inspiring leadership style. We believe that investing in the development of these HiPo leaders is essential for the continued success of Intellect.

At BIAN - Banking Industry Architecture Network Fusion: Driving Adoption in Cape Town, Krishna Rajaraman, CTO at Intellect, discussed the challenges and enablers of BIAN adoption, highlighting that banks' reliance on legacy systems makes it a Change the Bank initiative rather than a Run the Bank activity. He was part of the esteemed panel discussing "How BIAN Members Drive BIAN Adoption and Transform Banks to Achieve BIAN Compliance". For successful adoption, Krishna stressed the importance of well-defined API alignment and integration mechanisms for non-compliant systems. His core message was to prioritise high-impact business cases that demonstrate tangible functional benefits, ensuring adoption is driven by value rather than just a technology overhaul. Here are some photographs featuring Krishna at the panel discussion and Intellect leaders present at the conference.

Speed is critical in banking, but true transformation isn’t just about moving fast—it’s about moving with precision. In a recent conversation with Finextra,?the leading UK-based financial technology publication, Arun Jain, Chairman and Managing Director of Intellect, shared why a well-structured, long-term vision is essential for banks to navigate rapid change while ensuring every step adds value. Rather than taking a fragmented approach, he emphasised the importance of designing the entire blueprint (just like a 20-storey building) before progressing floor by floor. Transformation, as Arun puts it, isn’t just about immediate results, it’s about sustained impact. With a structured five-year roadmap, delivered in 20 quarters, banks don’t have to wait for the future. They can build it, one floor at a time.
