Aashwasan
Invites you to a panel discussion on
Competition vs. Coopetition
Harsha Hotel, 11 Park Shivajinagar, Bangalore. on 20th April 2007 between 9:00am and 1:30 pm
The Panel Discussion
Competition vs. Coopetition panel discussion explores why coopetition rather than competition is the next step in
our collective evolution. It also explores how the spirit of Coopetition can be introduced early enough in schools
and colleges (through various tools and techniques), so that today’s students are geared to create the Coopetitive
world of tomorrow. The panel discussion explores Coopetition from various perspectives- business perspective,
business ecological perspective, and Collective social needs. Finally all these perspectives are taken into account
to understanding the need of the hour and how we can address them. Creative Debate, a tool to promote
Coopetition in schools and colleges is also unveiled during this panel discussion.
Introducing Competition vs. Coopetition
“It is a dog eat dog world out there”. “You have to run to stand still”.
These are the snapshots which most of are exposed to in the modern
world. Competition is such an all-pervading aspect of most people’s
lives, that this has defined our activities, our schedule, our career
paths and even our mental state. At a very early age children are told,
that the world out there is extremely competitive, that they have to
learn new skills every day, that it is all about becoming better than
their neighbor, colleague, peer or friend.
Transforming Lives
While there are some aspects of competition are beneficial, over
emphasis on competition affects the collective and finally trickles down
to individuals. The other side of competition is Coopetition. While
Competition assumes that the world out there is the result of a zero
sum game, coopetition presupposes that the pie itself can be extended
to accommodate new players. A zero sum game has losers and
winners; people win at the cost of others. Therefore the emphasis is in
winning – and competition is the essence of this. Coopetition on the
other hand states that it is possible for everybody to win. Most aspects
of this world are not a zero sum game. You can win with others and not
at the expense of others. What does Coopetition need?
Simple things - it asks for individuals to use their strengths and
concentrate on what works for the collective and therefore Individuals.
Empathy among fellow beings, the ability to listen, compassion, trust,
recognizing interdependence are some of the essential tools.
Introducing Aashwasan
Aashwasan is the only organization in the world that brings in ESP and dynamics of Aura to transform lives.
Aashwasan has evolved the theory of transformation, a ten-stage process a person goes through in his/her own
unique way. During this process, one identifies, explores and expresses one’s infinite potential. The foundation of
Aashwasan was laid by Rashmi Aiyappa, who was born with the gift of ESP and the ability to perceive Aura. She
has transferred this knowledge to nine healers.
