Think 3 is all about understanding complex phenomena using a simple formula.It is a unique book that analyses and presents the best of thoughts, quotes & works of legends across business, history and mythology.It is often said that there is no universal truth and there is no point in trying to search for the ultimate wisdom. Steve Hawking, one of the greatest humans and the most intelligent ever born was perpetually in search of 'Theory of everything' finally gave up one day. Most of us believe that there are no 'Universal Truths' and hence there is no such person who knows everything and all the angles possible but need to have the tolerance to ambiguity in everything. But what if this could be challenged, implying that it is indeed possible to discover a simple formula for easily managing the majority of things we come across?The number 3 is firmly engrained in our lifestyle in many many ways.The Holy Trinity we worship, The 3 great religions, The 3 holy scriptures Bhagavad-Gita, Bible and Quran, The 3 prizes, Gold, Silver and Bronze, that are issued in every game or a competitive eventThe urge to finish at least in the top3 in any sport or studies or in the marketing.Is it that there is something magical about the word 3 or is it that the human being is happy to remember '3' of anything without much difficulty?As we explore this phenomenon more and more, we can discover that understanding the importance of '3' and consciously embedding this knowledge helps us to be much more productive in everyday Personal, Official or Social activities. Let us delve deeper into the 'Magic of Three' and how we can apply to design new solutions as well!In this we discuss Management thinkers Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Simon Sinek, Malcolm Gladwell, Teachings of Chanakya, Ramayana, Mahabharata, Key Business concepts like Business Excellence, Balanced Score Card, Business Model Canvas, Value Proposition and Technology paradigms like Blockchain, Smart Cities, Digital Transformation.We try to understand how complex concepts can be broken down and understood easily.

Governments are discovering that they can dramatically improve the reach of and access to their services to citizens and businesses by embracing new technologies.Blockchain technology along with other empowering technologies like IOT and AI & ML powered applications is facilitating a rapid disruption across every aspect of our life due to its ability to securely connect vast majority of users simultaneously. This is offering Provenance, Authenticity and Trust to transactions and reducing the cost of undertaking the business.Governments in a number of countries have demonstrated the utility of Blockchain across a variety f e-governance applications. As Blockchain paradigm emerged out of the shadow of the negative impact of permissionless cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, that has been illegally exploited to channelize and transfer unaccounted money across borders, it is time to take a look at the various possibilities that exist for this amazing enabler of secured automation at scale.This book has been written from a Practitioner's view point emanating from the ground level experience and is most suitable for Business Analysts, Solution Architects, CXOs and Practitioners in the enterprises and Government, wishing to update themselves with the various aspects of Blockchain Technology project implementation.

Explores the various areas being impacted by the use of these new workforce made of machines.Examines the components that make up Robots, Chatbots, Autonomous cars and Drones.Throws a light on the various limitations and threats encountered by the Agents of Automation Explores how, Blockchain can be used to protect IOT, Robots, Drones and Autonomous cars.Throws a light on the various tools used to build Robots, Chatbots and RPA.Outlines the steps undertaken to manage while building projects to deploy the Agents of Automation. DescriptionWe are faced with automatic machines and autonomous agents gradually replacing a lot of activities, hitherto have been carried out by humans. From airports to call centers, shop floors in the factory to accounting and finance departments in large businesses, we are finding increasing applications of AI & ML led automation.Most of the time, the autonomous machines we interact with or work with, like the Robots, Drones and Self driving cars evoke awe, inspiration & perplexity at the same time. They seem to be the tools only used by the most technology empowered organizations and technology geeks.The effort of this book is to go under the veil of all these automation agents, explain their benefits and expose the way they work by leveraging hardware and software powered by AI & ML as well. We expect the book to demystify these technologies to the learners in a reader friendly manner without using too much of jargon, egging them to take the next step to develop a passion to follow and leverage these trends for their productivity and enhance their quality of life.What You Will LearnFrom this book, you will get a very good idea about the various agents of automation like IOT, Robots, Chatbots, and Robotic Process Automation, Drones and Autonomous cars. Why do we use these machines? Where do we use them? Where do we find their applications? What are the components that go into making of these machines? High level knowledge on how we can build them and what are the advantages, disadvantages, risks and appropriate way to limit these risks.Who This Book is For This book is for all the students and those passionate to get a fundamental knowledge on various aspects of Disruptive technologies prevalent today like IOT, AI, ML, Blockchain and Automation.
