‘Without a doubt, the ability to
connect the dots is rare, prized and valuable. Connecting dots, solving the
problem that hasn't been solved before, seeing the pattern before it is made
obvious, is more essential than ever before.
Why then, do we spend so much time
collecting dots instead? More facts, more tests, more need for data, even when
we have no clue (and no practice) in doing anything with it.
Their big bag of dots isn't worth
nearly as much as your handful of insight, is it?’ -Seth Godin.
So, instead of collecting the dots we should start connecting data and insights every time we discover problems of system origins, and then look at them together from different perspectives. The more we practice it, the better we will become in sensing what comes next including new opportunities. This is how we can get better prepared for new challenges.
