Navrang Cube And Rubik cube : Which Organization strategy your Organization should follow ?

In this blog I have tried to explain two different Organization strategies using two types of cubes.
1. Navrang Cube
2. Rubik's Cube
These cubes are of opposite nature and symbolizes two different organizational strategies.
So first we will understand basics  about these cubes.

1. Navrang Cube

Navrang Cube is a six- faced cube made up of 27 smaller cubes - there are 9 different colour cubes and for each colour set there are 3 identical cubes.The cube looks similar to Rubik's Cube. The cube is said to be solved when each of the faces has 9 different colour cubes i.e. there is no repetition of same colour cube at any face.
We can relate Navrang Cube and procedure to solve it with Principles of Organizations and Management.

• Solving Navrang Cube starts with forming a purpose and feasible approach about how to solve the puzzle.This symbolizes the initial strategic plan about how to build Organization. First we consider what is mission and vision of the organization then what are the possible ways to achieve these and then only we start actual work.
• In Navrang cube we have to get all different 9 colors on each face of the cube. This symbolizes with teams having members with different sets of skill sets and characteristics. Members with  different skill sets are required to solve the problem and they work very closely to achieve the organizational goals.

2. Rubik's Cube

 In a Rubik's Cube, each of the six faces is covered by nine stickers, each of one of six solid colours (traditionally white, red, blue, orange, green, and yellow, where white is opposite yellow, blue is opposite green, and orange is opposite red, and the red, white and blue are arranged in that order in a clockwise arrangement). An internal pivot mechanism enables each face to turn independently, thus mixing up the colours. For the puzzle to be solved, each face must be returned to consisting of one colour.

Now we will relate Rubik's cube with Principles of Organzation and Management.

• This symbolizes to Organization whose mission and vision are very clear and they are into business for quite a long time. Like all the small cubes are connected by very strong central base, similarly in these type of organization,Every decision is taken by few very intellectual people in such a way that it binds every other team.
• Looking at the each face of Whole cube, we can conclude that it is necessary to have people of same skill in a team so as to provide a competitive environment which automatically generates efficiency and much more productivity.

Team members with similar skill sets

So which Organizational strategy is best?
It depends upon which life cycle stage your organization is in. When the organization is new, it has to decide multiple things and is favorable if team comprises of members having different skill sets i.e. Navrang cube  strategy. As the organization matures, it should give more focus on Skill specialization but at the same time all different teams should be strongly attached with the core philosophy of the organization, i.e. Rubik's cube.
