Newsletter #2: On curiosity

Newsletter #2: On curiosity

Change has changed. Fifteen years ago it was fun, interesting, playful, a breath of fresh air, a delightful offsite team building session. Now change has become more real. It's not flirting with us anymore, but banging on our door.

Curiosity therefore has taken a back seat. Protection has become the main focus. How do we avoid risk has become more important than how we nudge risk to get ahead.

Curiosity used to be fun .. now most of our curious time is spent on the turmoil that is AI (such a tiny non-exciting part of the universe).

Therefore for this weeks newsletter I wanted to bring back the fun in Curiosity.

If you want a smile, a delight, the season of spring for your brain. Lean in :)


#1. Curiosity eats creativity for breakfast

The reason we struggle to come up with original ideas is not for a lack of creativity but a lack of curiosity.

#2. Customer as competitive advantage

Are we doing the same as our competitors expecting different results?

#3. It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see — Walden

Making sense of your insights is far more important than collecting it.

#4. What leads to progress: Inefficiency, randomness and messiness

Being efficient only makes us similar to the machines. We should embrace what makes us inefficient.

#5. How to ask good questions?

The biggest misunderstanding when it comes to asking good questions? We think we need to start with them. That’s rarely the case. Good questions are discovered, unearthed through observation. We have to work for them / root them out.
