"Everything could be made adaptable"- my belief
I was reading the December 2011 issue of the Entrepreneur and came across an article by Michelle Juergen on a company Day2Night. Why would an article about women heel height excite me?
Being a guy I could care less about women's shoes. They look painful just to watch them try to walk. I especially can't get the new styles where the heels are so high and the front is also raised. Makes absolutely no sense to me.
So why did I get excited about Day2Night's idea? Their shoes come with five heels of different heights that can be switched out with a push of a button. A women can go from a 1 inch heel to a 5 inch heel. Brilliant!
They did not change the concept of a shoe. They simply changed a part of a shoe to make it great.
Could the same concept be made for guys? Probably not in the same way but imagine a company making a running shoe with 5 different heal structures for training on different surfaces. Wow! I looked at the bottom of my almost 2 year old Pegasus 25 and noted after all of the miles I have put on these shoes they look white as snow and almost brand new. The only part that was worn out was my heel.
Today's question is:
"What sub-part of your system could stand a little adaptability?"
