We are seeing the end of the Globalization, as the champions of the cause, the Western Countries have suddenly found it to be too hot to handle. It had already started but the Pandemic expedited it. 1/n

A period of introspection begins in the West, and I am very sure they will soon find virtue in nationalism and a closed economy. And then they will try to stove it down the throat of the other countries, as is their wont. 2/n

That the so called third world countries are not so willing to swallow whatever West says is another matter.

I believe that the world of a globally connected and networked business is over and so with it integrating software like ERP. 3/n

The past few decades have put much emphasis on building businesses through processes and in a structured way, which suited the dominant Western mindset, who are uncomfortable with anything that deviates from the norm, as their mind is trained to think in a structured manner. 4/n

Compare and contrast the English football team or German Football team, that believes in symmetry and theory than on creativity with the Latin Americans, who thrive on individual brilliance. 5/n

If you want to recall successful true European creative footballer, you may have to go back to the days of Marco Van Basten and Rudd Gullit in the mid to late 80s.(I posted a video yesterday) 6/n

You might say, hey, we have Christiano Ronaldo. But, Portugese, have lot of strong links with Latin America and are more unlike Europeans.

Ditto for the Cricket Team. The England , South Africans and Australians lack flair. There were players like Gower and Mark Waugh though7/n

The dominance of Australia a few years ago had a lot to do with the brilliance of the maverick Shane Warne, an exception rather than a rule. 8/n

It is the creative Asians, who have found answers to the problems in their teams by unearthing new talent, and then building a team around the new talents. 9/n

I am digressing. In the business world during the past few decades, we had built monolithic structures and then fit in stereo typed people in the slots. The focus was on team work, conformity at the expense of individualism and creativity. 10/n

I suspect, with the passionate right brained Indians, Brazilians and Asians leading the business, we are bound to see less structure and more individual flair, which could be like a breath of fresh air, after a period of suffocating sameness. 11/n

We need to build business around people, and not the other way around n/n
