How Focus Can Trigger Serendipity

How Focus Can Trigger Serendipity

American columnist Franklin P. Adams is spot on when he says "a great part of the information I have was acquired by looking up something and finding something else on the way."

Because deliberate searching uncovers nuggets of gold you weren't expecting, how do you build serendipity into your focused work?

Read new literature.

  1. What are the most interesting books on your topic?
  2. Why are they relevant though may spark inspiration?
  3. Who on your team loves to read?
  4. When will you share your insights with others along the way?
  5. How will you note down each unexpected discovery to chase it when you are free?
