“An idea on its own is just an idea. Shared ideas are different - they accelerate innovation through faster discovery of opportunities!” - Futurist Jim Carroll My audience with Godiva Chocolates yesterday was for a global team — people from the UK, Europe, Singapore, China, Japan, the Middle East, North and South America - the world! Part of my message was that in the fast changing world of retail, they need to work harder to discover new opportunities — and that this will best come through developing a culture of collaboration! This is often a key message for many of the global talks that I do. Do this yourself - an idea on its own is not very powerful. Share the idea, and it is something different! This morning, I hop on a plane to come back home to Toronto from Brussels. A quick but fun trip!
