Attitudes towards innovation are as diverse as the cultures that infuse our global planet. Intuitively we understand some people are more inclined towards risk, creativity, long-term planning or simply “thinking outside the box “. We call these entrepreneurs “Innovative Futurists” and therefore I share the belief of many of my colleagues and associates in that we should give everyone access to these people to help them realise their Dreams.
By creating trusted environments of professional networks supporting and inspiring ideas and technology so that everyone can have the opportunity to benefit and not just a selected few we can encourage a whole new generation of innovators creating jobs and prosperity for themselves and their investors and others around them.
It is my firm belief that we are entering an era where it is recognised that we need to nurture living breathing communities of innovation and entrepreneurship rather than continue to endure historical institutionalised concepts of sterile research silos and traditional financial modelling. We need to inspire and encourage action rather than procrastination, to take the risks and facilitate the creation of turning concepts into reality and we need to do this by collaborating and sharing our collective knowledge and experiences. That’s how businesses grow, communities flourish and small and regional economies become rich and vibrant places of wealth generation.
We need to start investing in ourselves and investing in those who challenge their fears and are not afraid to step out and act on their inspiration.
