Sparks at the fringes

Driving innovation is not easy. Most times it happens at fringes, pockets, derided by the majority and systems are designed to frustrate.

Pivoting is a key skill in demand for innovators. Entrepreneurs are known to be passionately and doggedly married to their ideas even though the market place has rejected them.

The open mind that got them the bright idea in the first place, eludes them when they see poor response. Pick your battles, find the sweet spots, look for early adopters, sharpen or customise the idea and if nothing works, ..... Pivot.

Life is short and mortality rates of ideas is high.
