Q: What makes all the hardware and software in an Apple store come to life?
A: Relevant conversations
The problem always boils down to the people, but within those people lies the solution. The solution cannot start without a conversation with the right people in the same room at the same time, where they can become “unstuck” from their current mindset and allow new ideas to flow.
I am interested in devising ways to get folks “unstuck.”
Recipe for Unstuck:
1) fully engage with an unrelated concept
2) create fertile ground for surprising parallels back to the “stuck” state
3) get out of the way
