Explanation of organisational structure using Navrang Puzzle

Navrang cube had 9-coloured blocks which could be dismantled and logic was to arrange the cubes such that all 9 colours are present on each face of cube. Each face of the cube must have all the 9 colours which also mean obviously that none of the colours can be repeated on any face - since there are only 9 slots in each. In other words, No two same colours can appear on the same side of the Cube.




So what are the things we learned after solving the above puzzle:-

1. As the cubes of same traits do not appear at the same face so should not be the people or resources of same skills and characters appear at the same strata - else there may be ego clash or skill deficiency.

2. It is the objective that determines the method in which we have to solve the problem. Any method we device, it must be capable of being easily replicated. Only then can we achieve economies of scale and get effective outputs.

3. The key to solving any problem is organization. The first step is to segregate the similar elements of the problem together. Once you have done that, everything else falls into place, and it is simply a matter of applying simple logic at each level


4. It is only state of mind that the resources are limited, but how you utilise those resources to reach the goal, shows true managerial skills.
