managing the present, selectively abandoning the past, creating the future
Though the Hindu religion recognizes 330 million gods, there are only three main Hindu deities: Vishnu, the god of preservation; Shiva, the god of destruction; and Brahma, the god of creation. The correspondence between the three boxes and the three Hindu gods is clear.
preserving or managing the present: Vishnu
destroying or selectively abandoning the past: Shiva
creating the future: Brahma
According to Hindu philosophy, preservation-destruction-creation is a continuous cycle without a beginning or an end. The three gods play an equally important role in all three phases of that process. Further, Hinduism states that, while changes in the universe can be quite dramatic, the processes leading to changes are often evolutionary and involve smaller steps.
This is just the challenge for large companies: to create their future while managing their present. To take small steps that lead to big change. How good is your organization in managing the preservation-destruction-creation cycle?
