Meanings change at ISB

ISB it is said changes the way you look at things. Words and concepts acquire and different meaning after the great ‘gyaan’ you gain here. On the verge of completing two semesters, I could not agree more. Please find below some of the meanings I find changed after coming to ISB

MODEL

Before ISB: A beautiful creation with long legs and ……. ;-)

After ISB : An ugly creation with long rows and columns of data (Spreadsheets)

DOG

Before ISB: Dog

After ISB : A brand on your portfolio that you can divest/harvest (BCG Matrix)

T-SHAPE & I-SHAPE

Before ISB: Some ‘things’ possibly in the shape of a 'T' or an 'I'

After ISB: Shapes of ‘consultants’ working at McKinsey (T-Shape=Generalist, I-Shape=Specialist)

SLEEP

Before ISB: Necessity of Life to be indulged in for minimum 8-10 hours a day

After ISB : ?????!!! What’s that?

Well guys, I have to stop now. Have two exams tomorrow and two more the day after. Got a lot of syllabus to catch up with. Will catch up with you all after the exams.

Wish me luck!
