Even in startup culture, there is this language of the incubator versus the accelerator.

So we live in a time where

We can work differently because of technology, AI, robotics, automation, which is taking over basic tasks.

The opportunity that I am provoking us to take a look at is the so what behind all of this speed.

Because we can get the answers more quickly, the so what is that now we actually have time for

Deeper critical thinking for collaboration for eyeball to eyeball conversations to really embrace the liminal space, the ambiguity that comes when you are on the verge of discovery instead of just trying to rush through it and charge through it.

So that's what I mean when I say.

We are still operating under this relic of the first industrial revolution when we can really embrace this both and model of instead of asking, how might I be more productive today or how might my team be more productive this quarter?

A different question is, what might I cultivate today?

What might my team cultivate this quarter, which is that both and model?

Well, first, let me just address, this is just a, not to put too fine a point on it, but if you know a little bit about my work, you know that I don't like to say, I don't like to ghettoize creativity.

It's only something that artists or designers are great at.

So I love that you point out the researchers are also creative, right?

There's a difference between art.

and creativity, between design and creativity.

So to me, I've developed something called the Wonder Rigor Method, which is an on-ramp for everyone to realize that to be human, part of our birthright as humans is to be creative.

So the best CFOs and attorneys and accountants and designers and coders and farmers, teachers, plumbers are super creative.

when they're doing this talking to wonder and rigor to solve problems.

I just wanted to, to highlight that.

But, but to operationalize the move, think rest human center operating system just requires some intentionality.
