ShareWelcome to this edition of Simple, Smart & Sexy.
If you want to have fun and explain to the world why innovation matters and how does it really work, just watch this week’s video.
Now, here are the analogies for your consideration:
- Innovation and Sex: everybody talks about it, but very few get it right
- Everybody claims to do it on a regular basis
- Everybody claims to be great at it
- Even when it’s not great, it’s never a waste of time
- You can start small, but it can get bigger
- There’s many ways of doing it
- New approaches keep it fresh
- Practice makes it perfect
- Everyone needs to try it if not you can get as outdated as some religions
- When you really get it, it feels amazing
- It takes a lot of energy, but you never get tired
- it’s not about how you start, it’s about how you finish
- When you get it, it makes your mind spin
- You work at it, work at it, work at it, and all of a sudden, kapow!
- There’s nothing new about it; it’s been around for ever
- You can never get enough
- If you think you know it all, you probably don’t
- It’s all about people
- Every situation demands a unique approach
- There’s no magic formula (beginner’s mind)
- You can’t keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect different results
- Creativity is key
We really look forward to your comments and own comparisons…!
Have a Super Week!
Superfunny and straight to the point video. It´s worth watching it a couple of times
What a bundle of truths. It´s incredible. What a big amount of similarities. Fantastic summary in the analogías
Roland, Mariana fantastic, What a sense of humour!!!!
Pedrin…thanks so much for your comment and also for your feedback! You know I LOVE feedback! A big kiss for your from the Rio de Janeiro Airport… on my way to paradaise:-)
Great video. But the “sexy” in s s and s has to do with being attractive and pulling in the eye, having sleak lines, maybe glamour (if simple) and as well be approachable. Something you would feel comfortable walking up to with a smile and saying hello, and expecting a hello and a smile back.
Gary, thanks. Yes you are right. The Sexy in SS&S is about being utterly attractive, sophisticated somehow and of course approachable. If you aren’t approachable then instead of Sexy you become a Snobbish?:-)
Mariana,
the perfect Friday post and so many true points! I do think however, few admit to being great at it (maybe that’s just the British) and no one admits to being bad at innovation – maybe average a bit like driving….
I’d love to see the next post look at Innovation foreplay!
Fun stuff
Best
Matt
Matt, thanks for your comment. And Yes most say to be great but few admit to having made a mistake or not being very good… it’s not just the British, it’s human nature I guess…
Excellent point of view! I would never have thought of it that way.
Congratulations. Finally I have a simple way to explain to some people what innovation really is.
