About this Presentation

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I…” What did Robert Frost do in “The Road Not Taken”? He took the one less traveled, of course, and “that has made all the difference”. But what kind of difference? Was “change for the sake of change” good or bad? The research environment on “Change” is vast, and the Giants tall. Nonetheless, significant improvement seems the exception rather than the rule. Why? Though I may “Never Say I Know” when recognizing every situation can be improved, the universe of ideas I can consider is often limited to my own experience and knowledge. Being stuck inside the system not only helps explain the “improvement expectation gap”, but also point to a potential direction for closing the gap. This presentation will introduce a method of injecting ideas from different venues and at different levels of detail to “nudge” the system from a state of inertia. Seeing “outside the system” allows the user to view their problem as a specific example of a general problem. Further, how an idea can be applied now or in the future can’t be known, but extending the universe of possibilities extends one’s domain they “can’t say I know” to.
