Waking Up Stupid… The Key To Successful Innovation
May 26th, 2007
Imagine if you woke up stupid every day, with a hunger to learn, grow and evolve! That is the difference between the minds of innovators and routine. Actually, it would probably be immensely frustrating that you have to start from scratch every day but in essence, innovators are those who wake up looking to pioneer.
Innovation is about looking at problems or gaps with new eyes.
When News Corp saw computerisation take hold they revolutionised the newspaper industry by streamlining and templating the whole process.
When Apple and Steve Jobs were being a thorn in the side of PC manufacturers Apple were busy conceiving how the music landscape would be changed forever.
It is interesting to look at the increase in Apples share price when Jobs is there… and when he is not.
1986 to 1998 Minus Steve Jobs - 120%
1998 til today with Steve Jobs - 1240%
Anyone else notice the difference innovation can make? What inspires you?
