Abstract

Drawing lessons from the Indian epic “Hanuman Chalisa” the author has evolved a technique called OKM (Ocean of Knowledge and Merits)
technique for effective internal communication in the organization with its human resources that ensure building a positive and
energetic environment leading to maximum contribution by each of them in the organizational development. A similar approach has been
developed by the western countries called AI (Appreciative Interaction) for developing both individuals as well as organizations. OKM,
however, endorses the innate infinite potential of human beings against AI which attempts to harness the same. An extended application of
OKM technique can overpower the five devils of Kama, Krodha, Mada, Moha, and Lobha which are the root causes of all the evils in an
organization.
