Does your imagination have the answers?

What are your biggest challenges?

Perhaps, you’re concerned that your business might not stay relevant? Are the disruptors at your doorstep? Can you maintain connections while we, once again, increase remote work? Or is something else challenging you?

Your imagination might help; it’s part of our toolkit to address obstacles.  

In fact, some scholars refer to imagination as a ‘learning tool’. And that skill, when well developed, can literally mean survival for businesses. Especially in moments like these; when the old models are often not adequate, when we need to re-imagine and reshape our future and explore new possibilities.

Consider the inventions that have been imagined and actioned in a crisis; stainless steel from World War I and the Spanish flu, supermarkets born in the Great Depression, and penicillin to save lives in World War II. Car fuel efficiency was imagined during the 1970s oil crisis and iTunes came from the internet bubble and SARS.

Today, it’s a matter of filling in the blanks. What new ideas will emerge from this pandemic? Are you on the cusp of great change? How can honing the skill of imagination help? And what steps will you take to maintain and build imagination fitness in the days, weeks, months and years ahead? All so you can more easily tread into the future with a confident step.
