Namaste, Welcome to SAM-VAD (Together In Conversation), where we try to draw your attention to things that matter and why is that? Because ‘let us remember this again, ‘What we give our Attention to matters.’ Our life’s experience would ultimately amount to whatever we had paid attention to. Attention: is as fundamental as food; and we go blundering about, seeking ways to assuage the craving, instead of learning how to provide ourselves with what we need, sensibly and calmly. Once our attention is drawn to the mechanism of why and what we give attention to, it is as if a veil has been stripped off and we become freer in our action and choices. And that is our endavour. This week I bring to your attention another excerpt which we have titled – Effective experiments and Practical Learning from the book titled ‘Uncharted’ – How to Map the Future Together by Margaret Heffernan. In her bold and invigorating new book, Margaret Heffernan explores the individuals, organizations and mindsets that aren’t daunted by uncertainty but seize the challenge of making the future for them-selves and explores answers to these questions, how can we think about the future? What do we need to do – and who do we need to be?  Effective experiments and Practical Learning We start to map our future when we dare to experiment with the present, when we don’t make ourselves hostage to the past or to the salesmen of determinism and machines. Experiments are how we explore ecosystems, feeling out their contours and boundaries. Whether in individual careers, startups, businesses or nations, these experiments share vital characteristics.
