Did you know that sticker burrs
(yes like you find in a field of weeds) were the inspiration for the fastener
we now know as Velcro? Makes sense, but
I sure would not have thought of it.
When we look at the familiar with fresh eyes we really open our minds to
creativity. I am not the most creative
guy around but I try and look at business problems with an open mind. It is very easy to get caught in a rut, to
live with blinders on. We tend to only
see things within the parameters we are accustomed. But wild ideas are often really very creative
solutions. “Thinking outside the box” is
an overused phrase but it is a necessary way of thinking. It does not come naturally. We have to consciously force ourselves to see
with fresh eyes and think outside of the box.
How will you see things this
week?
