Try different
Wednesday, 03 March 2010 21:59 |
The usual mantra is to 'try harder'. Trying harder is impossible when you're already trying as hard as you can. But you can always try different. Years ago, I was creating trivia questions for a product we built for Prodigy. We had a 99% accuracy rate in doing the questions. Which was great, except there were 1800 questions in a batch, which meant 18 wrong each time, which was totally and completely unacceptable. These were honest mistakes, made by smart people working as hard as they could. No matter how hard we tried, we couldn't do better than 99%. So we switched our system completely and did it in a totally different way. Same number of people, same number of hours, 100% accuracy. Jain manager extraordinaire: Buffett

 Warren Buffett cannot seem to help himself. Yet again, in his famously folksy annual letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders, the company’s billionaire CEO lavished praise upon one of his managers above all others – Ajit Jain. Mr. Jain (58), who heads some of the reinsurance businesses in the Berkshire Hathaway stable, first joined what is arguably one of the most successful investment companies ever more than two decades ago. “A hugely important event in Berkshire’s history occurred on a Saturday in 1985. Ajit Jain came into our office in Omaha – and I immediately knew we had found a superstar,” Mr. Buffett said. He has good reason to be pleased. Mr. Jain’s efficient liability and cost management in Berkshire’s reinsurance business has helped sustain the company’s meteoric share price rise from around $3,000 in the mid-1980s to its current level of close to $120,000, and a breathtaking compound annual growth rate of 20.3 per cent in its book value.
Boom leads to numbering problem

 With the 10-digit mobile numbers on the brink of getting exhausted as 1.5-crore-odd mobile subscribers are being added every month, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India has begun the process of finding a long-term solution to this complex issue. And it might include 11-digit mobile number to ensure unhindered growth of mobile penetration.
