Playground

There are a lot of ways to view failure.

Thomas Edison famously said: “I never failed once. It just happened to be a 2,000-step process.”

How many steps in your process to success?

There are a lot of ways to assess a company’s innovation culture.

One of the most effective single questions is: are you having fun?

Some of the fun things we’ve encountered, made or dreamt will appear in this playground from time to time.

Elvis didn’t write a single song. Good thing for Rock ‘n Roll he didn’t suffer from the “Not Invented Here” Syndrome.

Gregg has written a lovely piece on Elvis and…guess who? Einstein. You can read it here.

Here’s a movie we made for KILN’s launch at FEI EMEA in Berlin lat year. The movie was conceived to play in a loop…like when mature innovation programmes run cycle after cycle. Only without the endless variety that a team truly thinking creatively achieves time and again. Email us if you can manage to watch it more than twice through.
