"My boss likes to say , 'I want a totally new idea - and three examples of where that idea has worked before"- boss' request in the article Are you Learning as Fast as the World is Changing
From yesterday's post(habit 2) and the article this quote was memorable. The author initially dismissed it as silly but later on saw the wisdom. Just because your field does not have the solution it does not mean that it does not exist in another field.
Why three examples? The more I thought about it the only reason I came up with is that by finding three you definatively convince yourself that the solution will work for you in your field. I also believe that finding only one might not provide enough insight into the solution.
Today's question is:
"Which one of your problems has a solution in another field?"
