Doing things the old way would not make the future come through
#ajaybanga , Great speech Mr Banga ,just not only impressive but convincing too . 👍 I completely agree with your diagnostics about the what ails the institution… your suggestion for Speed over sluggishness and Simplicity over complexity of the process . Also the fact that WB is just not the bank for bucks but also for the knowledge capital …. Few suggestions as remedies to the above - Do GatiShakti as India has done leveraging technology and tweaking of the mandate of existing institutions which is enabling “Whole of the Govt “ approach . Through this initiative the GoI has been able to ensure intense and effective communication among the related specialists verticals without disrupting or dismantling the latter . It is able to bring in not only the desired speed and simplicity but has also increased the quality of decision making … - regarding the knowledge capital of the WB which is surely a rich repository but I think it requires to be enriched further with the deeper knowledge of the not so rich national as your clients . Best wishes.
