Things happen
Things happen for a reason
This leads to a system where

everything fits
Therefore, the world is rational,

logical and well ordered
We live and operate in an imperfect
world.
The market place is chaotic and out

of control.
It is in this chaos that uncertainties

arise.
It is in this chaos that opportunities

arise.
Looking?
“I was seldom able to see
an opportunity until it had
ceased to be one”.
Mark Twain
Look for and understand that gaps
occur.
The tool, innovation aids you to take

the opportunity and maximise the
choice.
Have we become complacent and
accept that a step by step approach
is the only way?
Is it too late?
All of us are born creative
All individuals grow to have the

capacity to curb their creativity
All adults have a need to balance

creativity and rationality
Often lacks constructive energy
No design
No creativity
Positions people as adversaries
BLIND ACCEPTANCE

“Not invented here syndrome”
No recognition

is no such thing as a silly idea, as its all
about timing in the market place
