Our approach

“To tear down a factory or to revolt against a government or to avoid repair of a motor cycle because it is a system, is to attack effects rather than causes; and as long as the attack is up on effects only, no change is possible. The true system, the real system, is our present construction of systematic thought itself, rationality itself, and if a factory is torn down but the rationality which produces it is left standing, then that rationality will simply produce another factory. If a revolution destroys a systematic government, but the systematic patterns of thought that produced that Government is left intact, then those patterns will repeat themselves in the succeeding government”

Robert M Pirsig

Arpitha believes in working with people and organizations at a very fundamental level. Any change that is fostered at the cause level would be a lasting one and not ephemeral in nature. Hence this calls for identifying and working with root causes, instead of providing quick-fix solutions at the effect level.

Arpitha’s fundamental work approach is totally process centered and believes in handing over a self sustaining process rather than a solution or a prescription. The ancient Chinese proverb below appropriately summarizes our approach…

"Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime."
