Daily Inspiration: "See differently and you'll innovate brilliantly!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
Most people see a ketchup bottle.
Creative people see trends & innovation!
Last week, I spoke at the Manufacturers Association for Plastic Processors conference in Indianapolis; my topic was the impact and opportunity of artificial intelligence technologies in the manufacturing industry. As is usually the case, the day started with an early morning (630am) stage/sound check. That's the short time in which I visit the room, check that my laptop plugs into the AV system fine, the audio works, and that the stage is set. Because it's showtime!
Bill Stainton was also there at the same time - he was there to speak on the theme of innovation, and in particular, his topic, Connect the Dots: How to Unleash Your Hidden Ingenuity. I'd never met Bill before although I had heard his name - you can't be a speaker on stage and not be familiar with other folks in your line of work. We had a great chat as we took our turns testing out our setup.
Bill's focus is, like many of my events, on innovation. I came at it through a technology lens - he came at it as the Executive Producer of Seattle’s legendary comedy TV show Almost Live!, leading his team to over 100 Emmys of their own, as well as 10 straight years of #1 ratings.
A
s we spoke, Bill took two ketchup bottles out of his bag to place on the stage tabletop - and at that moment, I had a great laugh, because, as you might know, for a time I featured the upside-down ketchup bottle as the core of an innovation-themed talk.
As does Bill!
And therein followed the most wonderful story - read the post!
