Innovation. The only real way in which our current economy will recover is
through innovation. The best example and it is very apropos this week is
Apple. With the passing of Steve Jobs this past week the world lost one of the
best innovators. When he returned to Apple it was on the verge of bankruptcy.
He found unique and innovative ways through his creative genius to build the
company to virtually the most valuable business in the world. How did he do
that? He first had his team (and he did believe in very strong teams) identify
what his strong believers (ie. Apple users) really wanted from Apple and in
their lives. The response was music. This lead to the development of the Ipod
and Itunes and we all know what has happened since. We must be innovative in
the way in which we approach our businesses. The status quo is long gone and
only new bold initiatives will ensure that we see strong economic growth as we
look into the future. What can you do in your circle of influence to create
innovative solutions in your lives and in your community?
"I actually think there's actually very little distinction between an artist
and a scientist or engineer of the highest caliber...They've just been to me
people who pursue different paths but basically kind of headed to the same
goal, which is to express something of what they perceive to be the truth
around them so that others can benefit by it. "
- Steve Jobs If you want inspiration watch the following video of Steve Jobs giving the
commencement address at Stanford a few years ago it is great food for
thought! (right click and open hyperlink)
