BOLD Truth #4

There's a time and a place for creativity.  Typically, it's every time and every place.

BOLD Truth #3

Ideas power technology which, in turn, powers more ideas. Technology is a tool.  Ideas are the blueprint.  No blueprint, no need for tools.

BOLD Truth #2

“To have ideas that are radically different requires experiences that are radically different.  It’s best to diverge from the conventional path, as this can help you solve problems in different ways.

“Be curious.  Observe people.  Notice changes in their needs and behaviors.  Don’t get stuck in routines, try something new every day and always fill the well with insights based on your area of interest or responsibility, and hopefully a little beyond it.

“The smartest people I’ve met are the ones who have had the most diverse range of experiences.  It helps to spend time learning points of view from outside your industry.”

Stefan Olander – VP, Digital Sport, Nike
