Get some perspective at the NetWeb event tomorrow
In July we interviewed young entrepreneur Mongezi Mtati the organiser of the monthly Netweb events for entrepreneurs. It’s their first year anniversary (congrats!) and they’re going out big tomorrow night at Cappello’s in Ghandi Square with lots of give-aways and a presentation from Don Packett of Thunk! – they’re focusing on PERSPECTIVE in business… so go and get some!
“When a group of smart people are struggling with an innovation based problem, it’s never a lack of knowledge that’s holding them back – it’s a lack of perspective.” Thunk!
You are an expert at what you do. No one else does it better than you. You’ve learnt all there is, applied yourself, changed perception and discovered what works. But when do you start innovating?
As industry influencers, however, we tend to get stuck in our ways. In Rules For Revolutionaries, Guy Kawasaki says: “we hardly ever consider a problem in the broadest way possible.” The legacy of what we’ve proven works stunts our creativity.
Perspective, a way of solving your innovation based problem, is critical in reviving the change you always wanted to create. Can you still remember that first time, when you knew there was change needed in your current field? When you have thought about a problem for long periods, you are less likely to change things within that industry.
The 90/10 rule at Thunk! is: what you know, all that you’ve applied before, only worked 90% of the time. The 10% is where the ability to innovate lies, which is the product of perspective.
Don Packet, one of two perspective merchants in South Africa and the co-founder of Thunk! will be speaking at the Netweb Event. The other is his business partner. His experiences as co-founder of the only ‘perspective lab’ in the continent ensures, you will leave with new ideas to change (what’s now become) your old ways. He delivers on insights, ranging from work done with corporate companies and entrepreneurial ventures.
At this anniversary Netweb Event we are also giving away:
– A 1 year subscription to Succeed Magazine
– A R50 000 corporate video customized for your business (Sponsored by Missing Link)
– And a bottle of wine.
