Why the Symposia Way to Spread the Spirit of Wizardry?

The purpose of our project is clearly stated in its title How to Turn Executives Into Wizards. That purpose cannot be achieved only through blogging and through the comments section or online discussions.

We, therefore, considered many avenues like a series of talks by experts, workshops, seminars and competitions. All of these can be good platforms to spread the spirit of wizardry.

But, we think that symposia are the best avenue to achieve that objective. We can choose a topic and all centres would conduct symposia. To begin with, we will decide the type of organisation, its basic constitution and rules and regulation. Once organised, it is also possible to have an online compendium of summaries of the various symposia for the benefit of all members and the general public through a separate website. Let us also give a thought to a presence on social media platforms. All these are preliminary thoughts and a lot of voluntary work will be involved. We invite your suggestions and comments. 

The need for such an organisation is felt all around because there are hardly any self-contained, concise courses, books, guides or coaches, and mentors for How to Turn Executives Into Wizards. The task is gigantic and challenging, but we have a dedicated team which is very passionate and full of 'can-do' confidence.

So much is happening in so many fields and so fast that, at times, it seems as if the difference between science fiction and reality is fast narrowing or vanishing. AI, 3D 4D printing, IoT, machine learning, robots replacing humans even in healthcare, drones, autonomous cars, cryptocurrency and who knows what next by the time you finish reading this. Elon Musk's Neralink is even trying to modify humans!

To survive and thrive in such a world, one has to be 'omniattenttive' and develop 'fluid intelligence'. The 'crystal intelligence' of many established old laws, formulas, models, methods, techniques, benchmarks, best practices are all gone with the wind. 

Also, there are few, if any, 'know-all oracular maestros' who can 'talk' authentically in the current highly complex and chaotic environment. They have their own latent biases which can come to the fore in 'talks'. These can be revealed and eliminated in a symposium through the exchange of ideas and views of experts from various organisations and disciplines. This is not possible in 'talks'. Hence we suggest the symposium route, but we are open to suggestions and the best one shall win.
