Porus Munshi

Porus Munshi is the founder of Making Breakthroughs Happen, a firm dedicated to fueling Breakthroughs and Leapfrog Innovation. He has over a decade of experience in enabling innovation across sectors and geographies. 

In his work Porus wears 2 hats: One as a workshop leader where he nudges, provokes and inspires participants to break free of limiting mental models and take on innovation challenges they would never have dreamt of earlier. And second as an innovation enabler where he enables organizations and teams to leapfrog accepted stages of growth, creating results considered way beyond their 'capability'. 

Porus brings with him experiences from a diverse background. After graduating with a B.Sc. in Mathematics from the University of Madras, he began his career as a management trainee in the hotel industry before moving on to create a garment export business. From there he moved on to doing a Masters in Psychology and began training and consulting in various areas before he found what he's passionate about: Innovation and leapfrogs in human performance and impact. 

Across a decade in innovation, Porus has helped create Leapfrogs at diverse industries and organizations in 3 continents. Some industries/sectors that he has enabled include the Nuclear industry, the Health sector, Pharmaceuticals, Automotive, Software, Telecom, FMCG, Infrastructure, the Social sector and the Government sectors. Some Organizations worked with include SAP Labs, Ceat, APM (France), Whirlpool, Heavy Water Board, Novartis, Unilever (SE Asia), Godfrey Philip and Groupe Auchan to name a few.

Porus is also the author of the best-selling book 'Making Breakthrough Innovation Happen - How 11 Indians Pulled Off The Impossible'.  The book has gone on to become a prescribed text and required reading at many leading management institutes in India. He's currently working on his next book, 'Personal Innovation and Life Redesign'. He is a sought after speaker, panelist and innovation enabler, a frequent speaker at innovation conferences, is a visiting faculty at the Indian School of Business and at the Tuck School of Business where he conducts sessions for senior executives. He is also on the advisory board of the Gujarat Innovation Council whose mission it is to trigger innovation across sectors in the state of Gujarat in India. 

During the past few weeks we have getting  many mails, messages, internal social blogs and tweets – people telling how much they liked your key note talk and workshop. 
 
The concept of leapfrog , peppered with game changing stories from various domains made a huge connect with our participants ; they drew huge inspiration from your narratives. People who took part in your workshop never felt the length of 3.5 hrs. session, you kept them immersed and engaged, making a huge impact on audience.
 
We are grateful to you for making our Summit a great success. We all learnt very useful lessons, in a way that touched our hearts. We look forward to strengthen our engagement with you in future.

Speaking Topics

Porus is a highly acclaimed keynote speaker – known for his unique ability to spark innovation, collaboration, creativity, and commitment. Each of his presentations is custom-designed with one thing in mind – to help his audiences translate his innovation-sparking principles into real-time behavior change on the job. "Innovation is an inside job," he explains. "Organizations don't innovate, people do." All of Porus's keynotes are refreshingly interactive. Audiences participate, not just listen.

Making Breakthrough Innovation Happen: How 11 Indians Pulled off the Impossible
India is known as a country not of innovation but of improvisation-or 'Jugaad', as they say in Hindi. But that has begun to change. We have enough examples in this country of people who have turned industry norms upside down to pull off the impossible in their fields. Eleven such case studies are featured in the book, including: Titan, which came out with the slimmest water-resistant watch in the world; Su-Kam, a power backup company that did not fit into an existing industry but ended up creating a new one; Shantha Biotech, which developed a low-cost Hepatitis-B vaccine and ushered in the biotechnology age in India; Trichy Police, which rewrote policing paradigms to nip extremism and crime in the bud, thus transforming the city. Through the breakthroughs achieved by these organizations, Porus Munshi shows that to do what is considered 'impossible' in your particular industry, you have to be subversive and think differently. In the process, if the existing business model needs to be turned on its head, then so be it!

CREATING A CULTURE OF INNOVATION
When, Where, Who, Why and How
All business leaders want the same thing — and that is an organizational culture that is agile, adaptive, and conducive to sustainable innovation.

Easier said than done, however.

When you think of how difficult it is for just one person to lose five pounds or stop smoking, imagine how difficult it is to engage an entire workforce in the effort to innovate.

But just because it's difficult, doesn't mean it's impossible. You've got to start somewhere. And Creating a Culture of Innovation is the best way to start — a highly engaging wake up call that demystifies innovation, sparks creative thinking, and provides an easy-to-adapt model that each participant can immediately apply on the job.

Face it. The days of depending on R&D to ensure your organization is innovating are over. The times have changed. Now, everyone needs to get into the act.

Includes:
  • Best innovation practices of leading organizations
  • A robust business case for why innovation matters
  • Hundreds of actionable culture of innovation ideas
  • Culture-building tools and techniques

THE SEED OF INNOVATION
How to Foster Extraordinary Possibility in Others

Let's cut to the chase: Innovation doesn't begin with processes. It begins with people — inspired, committed, and collaborative people.

When people are in the right mindset, your company has thousands of daily, spontaneously occurring opportunities for innovation to take root. All too often, however, these opportunities are missed.

Why? Because they are usually invisible to people. Like the rarely seen white arrow in the FedEx logo, people have a hard time seeing what's right in front of them — the opportunity to identify, spark, and co-develop promising new ideas.

The Seed of Innovation teaches people how to create the conditions that radically increase the odds of bold, new ideas being identified, nurtured, and developed on the fly.

It does so not by requiring people to add another initiative to their already maxed out schedule, but by leveraging the countless interactions they are already having on the job — in hallways, elevators, parking lots, lunchrooms, bathrooms, conference rooms, and cubicles.

MAKING INNOVATION HAPPEN
Harness the true value of innovation and create an environment where new ideas, products, services and ways of working are encouraged and supported.

Organisations need to innovate continuously in a global economy, characterised by relentless change and ferocious competition. 

Making Innovation Happen examines the fundamentals of innovation in practice, from idea generation to execution.  

Explore practical steps to address the specific innovation challenges you face and develop the skills to infuse a culture of innovation within your organisation to drive sustainable growth.

LEAP FROG THINKING
When Incremental Improvements are Not Enough

Some organizations are afraid of disruptive innovation. It spooks them. And understandably so.

Disruptive innovation can be extremely challenging — replete with the unknown, the unknowable, and seemingly endless meetings no one has the time to attend.

Innovation, in these organizations, takes place on the incremental side of the equation — tweaks, cost cutting, and process improvements.

That's all well and good.

But there are other organizations who know their future depends on a purposeful effort to challenge the status quo and generate breakthrough ideas — ideas for new products, new services, and new ways of doing business.

If this describes your organization, then Leap Frog Thinking is for you.

This highly energizing, interactive, two-hour keynote not only gets the creative juices flowing, but provides senior leadership with an extraordinary variety of newly generated business-growth ideas they can evaluate, post-session.
