NAVARANG PUZZLE





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 a way that all the faces of cube comprises of all the 9 colours. 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. And when we solved it then we learn the most important management lessons from the Navarang cubes.


Management lessons from the Navarang cubes.
  •  Two blocks of the same color may represent people in any organization, who don't gel well with each other. And hence while forming a team, a structured approach is necessary.
  •  The key to solving any problem in 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,and then each Problem can be solved by systematic thinking
  •  When the cube is not placed at the right place the puzzle cannot be completed. In the same way when a right person is not placed in right position in any organization .then, it adversely affects the whole organization.

  •  The organisation should have a mix of people with different skill sets like how a Navarang puzzle consists of different sets of colors , and people must arranged on their respective position as the cubes of Navarang puzzle to ensure a balance and effective structure of organization.                                                      
  • Each Block represents an entity (Labor, Machine etc.) in an organization and is to be assembled in a structured and hierarchical way like the Navarang cube,so the  people in an organisation must work efficiently with their assigned work,so generate maximum efficiency .
