Podcast highlights:
- Most of us thought that simply acquiring knowledge alone makes us superior at work and in life because, like we’re always told, a good education gives us more flexibility in life. In most cases, it works until it doesn’t.
Without a doubt, the ability to connect the dots is rare, prized and valuable. Connecting dots, solving the problem that hasn’t been solved before, seeing the pattern before it is made obvious, is more essential than ever before.
Why then, do we spend so much time collecting dots instead? More facts, more tests, more need for data, even when we have no clue (and no practice) in doing anything with it.
Their big bag of dots isn’t worth nearly as much as your handful of insight, is it?
- So the next time you’re tempted to hoard data or certificates, first ask yourself what it’s for. And then, begin thinking about what you’re going to do with the information you now have in your hands.
Most problems don’t require more data. They require more insight, more innovation and better eyes.
