Management lessons through Navarang Cube

What is a Navarang Cube..?

   

Navarang cube is cube consisting of 27 identical cubes of different colors.It can be divided based on the colors of different cubes. We get 9 different sets of colors comprising of three groups each. When this cube was brought in to our class we thought it was a shuffled rubiks cube. But when mandi sir dissembled the cube we came to know that it is much more than a rubik's cube. They were held together by a special arrangement among the blocks.

We were posed a challenge to reassemble the cube in such away that all the faces of cube comprises of all the 9 colors. We tried our best by trying most of the permutations on the cube. and finally no one could make. Because there is a systematic procedure for arranging these cubes.Unless hat procedure is followed no matte how hard we try we could not make it.

So what can we are the management lessons that can be learnt through this puzzle


  • when the right cube is not placed at the right place the puzzle cannot be completed. In the same way when a right person is no present to do a particular task at the right time then the whole project may get affected
  • the organisation should have a mix of people with different skill sets like how a navarang puzzle consists of different sets of colors
  • The people in an organisation must work efficiently with their assigned work, only then the results will be colorful as the navarang puzzle.
