Introduction
Time Swing Analysis™ is a
method evolved by Prem Kamble which helps in

-
Help cope with the changes which are happening now

When there is clarity in understanding the current situation, it is
easier to deal with it, and improve it.
-
It also helps in foreseeing the future or predicting the future.
-
When
situations are analyzed in terms of past, present and future, they give
useful insights to deal with in the present.
Prem Kamble has used this method in two very diverse areas
-
to analyze Resistance to IT Driven Change, and

to understand the
current beliefs in God and Religion.
What is Time Swing Analysis and How it is Used
"Time Swing Analysis" is a very simple technique. It involves the following simple steps: go back
in time, look at events and their fallout in the past, learn from those,
swing back in time to the present and apply the learning to analyze what is
happening now. You can also swing into the future and extrapolate from the past to
get insights into what the world is likely to be in future.
Sounds too primitive? Let us look at how it is used in the two cases listed above.

Time Swing Analysis To Manage IT-Driven Change
According to renowned IT
Research Analysts, the failure rate of IT projects, particularly ERP
implementations is 70-80%. In case of ERPs, this is really alarming looking
at the fact that most companies try to implement the most trusted ERP
packages through the world's best consultants. Prem Kamble believes that the
cause of these failures is more socio-cultural than technical. It is a
problem of adopting the new technology and managing IT-Driven change. Prem
Kamble has used Time Swing Analysis very effectively to get to the bottom of
this problem and identify the root cause of the problem. It helps managers
understand this technology better without the inherent fear and the complexes
associated with lack of IT knowledge.
Prem Kamble goes back to
industrial technology of industrial era and industrial revolution, examine
the pitfalls of industrial machines and revisit the huge upheaval and
resistance to machines that was there (in other words, he looks at the
Turmoil of the Industrial Revolution). Today we are extremely happy with the
industrial age machines and devices like cars, aeroplanes, electricity, etc.
But each of these had some serious limitations or prerequisites to their
effective use. There is something we give or do to insulate ourselves from
the dangers, or weaknesses or disadvantages of the machine and then we still
use it effectively. We have now learnt the rules of the game to benefit from
those technologies while avoiding the pitfalls. What were the rules of the
game? How did we overcome them? What are the rules of the game which impact
today's changes which are happening around us? How do we play by the rules of
the game and win?

Time Swing Analysis To Understand the Current Beliefs in God and Religion
Prem Kamble believes that the concept of god and
religion was conceived by some very well meaning saints for the benefit of
mankind. But today, the total deaths due to religious conflicts are more than
deaths due to all natural calamities put together. This proves that the plan
of the sages who conceived this idea for people's welfare has not really worked.
Prem Kamble uses this technique to analyze why this method has failed, what
was the original objective of the method, where we went wrong and what the
future has in store for us.
In his book "God in Two Minutes",
Prem Kamble has used Time Swing Analysis not only go back in past and analyze
but also swing forth in time to the future and extrapolate the learning to
the possibilities of the future. When you look at the past and the possible
future, it helps open your eyes to the big folly in your current beliefs.
