𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸. Japan has experimented with floor tiles that generate electricity from people's footsteps. The amount of energy each step produces is tiny, which means this isn't going to replace the power grid. But I don't think the electricity is the interesting part. Every day, thousands of people walk through the same station. Most of us see a crowd moving from one platform to another. Someone else looked at those same footsteps and saw energy that had been ignored all along. That is a very different way of thinking. We often assume innovation begins by building something bigger. And yet many breakthroughs begin by asking a much simpler question. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲'𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲? The same principle applies far beyond energy. The strongest organizations don't always win because they have more resources. Quite often, they win because they redesign existing systems to recover value that everyone else has accepted as waste.

What is one process in your organization that everyone takes for granted, but might actually be hiding untapped value? #OrchestrationDesign# #SystemsThinking# #SustainableInnovation# #AIReadiness#
