English Language
Read an extract from A Scandal in Bohemia by Arthur Conan Doyle:
“I rang the door-bell and was shown up to the chamber which had formerly been
in part my own.
With hardly a word spoken, Sherlock Holmes waved me to an armchair. Then he
stood before the fire and looked me over in his singular introspective fashion.
“Watson, you did not tell me that you intended to go into harness.”
“Then, how do you know?”
“I see it, I deduce it. How do I know that you have been getting yourself very wet
lately, and that you have a most clumsy and careless servant girl?”
“My dear Holmes,” said I, “this is too much. It is true that I had a country walk on
Thursday and came home in a dreadful mess, but as I ha ve changed my clothes, I
can’t imagine how you deduce it. As to Mary Jane, she is incorrigible, but there,
again, I fail to see how you work it out.”
“It is simplicity itself,” said he; “my eyes tell me that on the inside of your left shoe,
just where the firelight strikes it, the leather is scored by six almost parallel cuts.
Obviously, they have been caused by someone who has very carelessly scared round
the edges of the sole in order to remove crusted mud from it. Hence, you see, my
double deduction that you had been out in vile weather, and that you had a
particularly malignant boot-slitting specimen of the London slavey.”
In fiction, detectives like Holmes are usually portrayed as people with exceptionally brilliant
minds. They possess the rare skill to see and analyze what ordinary people can’t. They have
incredible abilities to infer, deduce, induce and conclude.
Then, there is G.K. Chesterton’s fictional catholic priest, Father Brown who relies on his
extraordinary power of sympathy and empathy that enable him to imagine and feel as criminals
do. He explains, “I had thought out exactly how a thing like that could be done, and in what
style or state of mind a man could really do it. And when I was quite sure that I felt exactly like
the murderer myself, of course I knew who he was.”
Sherlock finds the criminal by starting from the outside. He relies on science, expe rimental
methods and deduction. On the contrary, Father Brown uses varied psychological experiences
learned from those who make confessions of crime to him. He relies on introspection, intuition
and empathy.
There is yet another set of detectives like those created by writers like Agatha Christie. Her
Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot is a story-teller who draws information from the stories that
others tell. He patiently listens to numerous accounts of what happened, where it happened and
how it happened. He listens for credibility and ambiguity; he identifies why and how the pieces
of the jig-saws don’t fit together. Ultimately, he uncovers the truth.

(A) Watson is Holmes’ mentor.
(B) Earlier, Watson used to live with Holmes.

Since long, we have witnessed unimaginable levels of success and failure of various projects,
businesses, scientific missions and even wars. From such triumphs and defeats emerges the
much debatable thought: Is planning and strategy more important than execution?
Some project leaders and their teams are of the view that planning leads to clarity of objectives;
it helps to set the timeline and the budget. Consequently, when the planning is haphazard and
unstructured, the very aims of the projects become hazy. This further leads to unprecedented
budget collapses and poor time-management. In some cases, teams have worked relentlessly
to complete assignments, but poor planning has invariably led to customer dissatisfaction and
at times a complete collapse of the entire project. In the words of Benjamin Franklin, “Failing
to plan is planning to fail.”
Numerous entrepreneurs have the faith that strategies help to enhance not only speed and
quality of production, but also consumer satisfaction. If there are no strategies to tackle
unplanned events or unexpected interruptions, there is a possibility of entire projects coming
to a grinding halt.
Some of the world’s best airports, bridges and astronomical missions are the result of careful
planning and excellent strategies. However, there are some architects, artists and entrepreneurs
who prefer to dive straight from the board of ideas into the pool of execution. They believe that
suitable strategies are best shaped during the process of execution; great plans and strategies
can fail while encountering unexpected situations.
Steve Jobs says, “To me, ideas are worth nothing unless executed. They are just a multiplier.
Execution is worth millions.”

, According to Bill Gates, unhappy customers are the greatest source of learning. Fickle-minded
consumers and wavering market trends can mar projects that stand on fixed plans. It is the
need-based, flexible and innovative strategies that help to withstand the impact of these
vacillating desires and trends.
After rigorous planning and testing a new recipe on two lakh consumers, in 1985, the company
Coke brought out the New Coke. Much to the company’s dismay, the product did not take off
as expected and the financial loss was enormous. The company realized that during the process
of data collection, it had not considered the product-loyalty and old-fashioned habits of the
consumers.
Hence, a balance of pragmatic planning, effective strategies and efficient execution is likely to
ensure the accomplishment of tasks at each stage of a project. Successful execution is not an
easy journey. The road is winding and bumpy. It may require tweaking or at times abandoning
the original plan and re-designing it.
Often, we turn to nature for inspiration. Think plans and strategies are the seed; execution is
the nourishment; consumer is the capricious weather.
