Yesterday i gave a presentation for a group of wise people. After talking about innovation, leadership, change, media, and more of that kind of stuff, i got a great remark: ‘i miss the term serendipity in your story.’ He start talking about penicillin, X rays, and Columbus.
I had to think for a long time, and it was hard for me to come up with a new media, technology, telecom or it invention. I think they are there, but i couldn’t come up with one. I think all ‘our’ innovations are based on the fact that we have an image of the future, like you have in the carpe diem synergy theory.
But his remark stays in my mind, so he must be right, but i have (yet) now idea how. This will be continued.
