·         Help YJI overcome execution issues by devising focused execution strategy

3.  Why are you solving it?

• YJI has a challenge in terms of people’s knowledge in how to execute on tasks while keeping the YJI strategy and philosophy aligned
• There is also a motivation factor that subsides due to execution in either a different direction or with insufficient energy levels in the team members

4.  What is your solution?

• Sit down with each Executive Committee member starting with Projects and Marketing to create execution plans and goals on quarterly/yearly basis

5.  Who is your target audience? Where is it applicable?

• Target audience essentially is emerging leaders in young generation to enable them to successfully execute. Location, primarily India but willing to help other organizations like YJA/YJP wherever needed

• I am not aware of an existing solution. Need to discuss with JAINA LRP and/or YJI Board.

In my current capacity, I feel I am able to contribute value to the organization
