Bahasa Vivek considers himself to be a problem solver. He believes that in any system beset with a multitude of problems, it’s important to choose the right problem to solve - the core problem, which causes all the other problems. Vivek uses the power of systems thinking and TOC’s thinking processes to identify the core problem by unearthing the interconnections between recurring problems &amp; patterns of behaviour seen in an organisation. By doing so, Vivek gives primacy to causality over correlation, an approach that he believes is lacking in the consulting industry of today.&nbsp;During an engagement, Vivek’s continuous endeavour is to help create SOPs that are simple, easy to execute and not open to multiple interpretations.

Shailesh is the manufacturing guru at Vector. In addition to mastering traditional TOC solutions for manufacturing environments where there is a dominant constraint, he has evolved and deployed robust TOC solutions in environments like the Pharma and Steel industry, where there are interactive constraints. Under his guidance, over 500 plants have been able to harness their full capacities. He has tweaked their efficiencies to raise output and revenue. Of course, all this while holding a tight leash on CAPEX.Shailesh works closely with clients to help achieve harmony on the shop floor. The smooth flow of material on the shop floor unlocks productivity and translates into efficient operations and highly agile supply chains. He believes that this superior capability can be a source of significant competitive advantage for companies.A chemical engineer by education, Shailesh is acutely aware of elements that create strong partnerships. It is his belief that to ensure harmonious relationships, there can be only one kind of deal - a win-win. Any win-lose deal is doomed to deteriorate into a lose-lose situation.Shailesh listens more than he talks, but when this 'Guru' speaks, there’s usually an attentive audience because he is the acknowledged ‘go-to-guy’ for consultants in a tight spot in their implementations. Immensely revered by Vectorians and clients, he is most known for his straightforward approach and his people-agnostic analysis of problems–an almost art form he’s perfected over the 26 years of his work life.Shailesh is an adventure enthusiast. He enjoys travelling to remote locales where he treks and climbs mountains.He lives with his wife in Mumbai, India.

Shailesh believes that a bad solution never sees the light of day. A great solution, however, cannot thrive on its greatness alone. Its success depends on rigour of execution.

Puneet's relentless pursuit, therefore, has been to leverage his expertise, training in TOC, people skills, sales know-how and project management proficiency to transform the lives of his clients.He believes that in order to build Vector into a consulting company that can make a difference, consultants have to stand strong on their core principles. Puneet considers it his personal responsibility to continuously impart the company’s values, behaviours, and attitudes so as to nurture Vectorians into a team that is committed, passionate about learning and can act and make decisions as any owner would.In the last 27 years of wearing different hats as a sales manager, a product manager, and a consultant, he has travelled to nooks and corners of India and interacted with people from all walks of life and at different levels in organizations. This intimate knowledge of the country came in handy when he pioneered the TOC sales and distribution solution to guide companies in expanding their retail and sales footprint across India. Thus, he busted the myth that, after a point, it is unviable to service the millions of small retailers in this country. He continues to be a leading expert and innovator in this area.Work is play for Puneet, as his clients who’ve enjoyed training sessions imbued with humour are well aware. He is a consummate storyteller who has the gift of driving home deep management insights through jokes. Like his flair for training, his style of client engagement is also unique. At the very commencement of the assignment, he deeply empathizes with the problems of the company’s top management. He then takes complete ownership of the problems and soon “becomes” one of the company men. This transformation is clearly visible in his choice of attire as well. No one is surprised when they see him working with the client in the client’s company t-shirt!His ability to relate to the problems of an industry is also evidenced in the management novel he co-authored called “Apparent in Hindsight,” in which he shares his insights on the Indian Auto industry. A TEDx speaker and a sought-after keynoter, Puneet has written extensively on his counter-intuitive approach to transforming companies in leading publications.Puneet is toying with the idea of taking his ease with public speaking, his sense of comic timing and story-telling skills beyond the world of companies and boardrooms onto the stage as a professional stand-up comedian.Puneet lives in Mumbai with his wife and daughter.

Puneet believes that Vector’s mission is to help every organization on the planet have an operationally harmonious and financially fulfilling existence!

As a human race, we can solve any problem if we apply the same rigour that is used in the study of hard sciences. In the last 22 years of his career, after completing his mechanical engineering and business management education, Satya gained experience in supply chain management, operations, and high-variability operational environments.This experience, clubbed with his expertise in Systems Thinking, has enabled Satya to add to the TOC body of knowledge with a new version of CCPM in areas where traditional CCPM methods don’t work, including pure Research and Development, New Product Development, Heavy engineering, Banking, etc.He has also enhanced and implemented TOC solutions for EPC, custom manufacturing, Fashion operations and retailing, and Software development with fantastic results. He has innovated and implemented the concept of ‘management by tactics’, a unique TOC approach to leadership which runs contrary to prevailing wisdom in management.Satya loves teaching. He’s the 'Coach' of Vector, constantly designing and delivering training programs to guide Vectorians to higher levels of knowledge and implementation capability. He continues to spread the good word on TOC through blog posts and speaking assignments.Satya’s articles have been featured in a variety of publications, including The Economic Times, Business Standard, and Forbes. He has also co-authored the management novel, 'Apparent in Hindsight', which delves into the why and how of implementing TOC in manufacturing operations.Satya is a voracious reader who is deeply interested in the philosophy of science, epistemology, and systems theory. The same cannot be said about his approach towards food. A health freak, Satya has a dubious reputation for being extremely finicky about his diet.Satya lives in Mumbai with his wife and two children.&nbsp;

Satyashri, or Satya as his friends call him, believes that Vector can and has the responsibility to dispel archaic beliefs that hold companies back and to continually invent, implement, and hence solve chronic unresolved problems in the management of organizations.

Values & Principles

We believe in win-win partnerships. Our benefits-linked implementation contracts should be a Win for our clients as well as a Win for us. There should be a virtuous loop of wealth creation and distribution with all our stakeholders. We will avoid deals where this spirit is violated.

Benefits Sharing

We consider ourselves more as ‘implementation specialists’ rather than ‘recommendation consultants’. All our assignments are implementation-based projects. Even if the overall strategy and tactics for implementation are agreed upon upfront, we know that implementation is always full of surprises. The obstacles detected may be new, and the time taken to solve them is very uncertain, but we believe in doing ‘whatever it takes’ to overcome the obstacles and get the desired results. We hope to expect a similar commitment from our clients.

Ownership of Results

We believe that trust is fundamental to all great relationships. We believe the corollary is also true – lack of trust destroys relationships. Lack of trust leads one party to take offensive action in order to protect itself from probable harm from the other party. This mistrust, in turn, begets more disharmonies and envelops individuals and organizations in a vicious circle of mutual harm. Our ‘benefits sharing’ contract model is based on the principle of trust. We do not get into elaborate and rigid legal contracts with our clients for to evolve the model. Our contracts are short and based on the faith we repose in our clients. We will also avoid clients with whom we cannot build long-term partnerships based on the foundation of mutual trust.

Trust

We believe in respecting the ideas and concerns of every individual involved in our sphere of work. Innovation is always challenging, and challenges lead to innovations. Our change management philosophy believes in deeply understanding all the negatives and obstacles to the new initiatives. The most powerful impetus to change initiative comes when a person thinks about the negatives and reacts to the implementation issues of the solution. We do not view such people as resistant to change but as necessary change agents required for successful implementation.

Win-Win-Win partnership
