Blueprints of Breakthroughs

Every complaint is telling something Every delay is drawing lines Every frustration

in a system Can expose where redesign begins "What takes too long?"

"What's too expensive?" "What do people hate to do?"

"What is complicated for no reason?" "What could technology renew?" Problems are

blueprints

Look a little closer

Every inconvenience May be pointing toward an answer Problems are blueprints They

show where value hides

Innovation often starts Where somebody gets dissatisfied Don't fear the problem Study

the design

There may be an opportunity

Hidden between the lines

People wanted faster travel People wanted easier trade People wanted conversations Across

a distance once too great Somebody noticed inconvenience And refused to call

it fate Innovation asks a question: "Why should this remain this way?"

What hurts?

Who feels it?

How often?

How much?

What are they doing now?

Why isn't that enough?

Can it be faster?

Can it be safer?

Can it cost less?

Can it feel better?

Can we simplify? Can we personalize?

Can we automate? Can we redesign?

Can we solve something meaningful

And create value at the same time?

I am curious.

I notice what others overlook.

I ask why.

I ask why not.

I ask what could be better.

I am not intimidated by complexity.

I can break large problems into smaller parts.

I do not need every answer before beginning research.

My curiosity can become value.

My ideas can become experiments.

My experiments can become solutions.

Problems are blueprints

Read what they reveal

Somebody's everyday frustration

Could become something useful and real

Problems are blueprints

So sharpen up your eyes

Where others only see inconvenience

Entrepreneurs may see a new design
