‘The quality of your results will always be in direct proportion to the quality of the thinking you bring.’

Christian Simpson

Thinking sharing, listening, collaborating across disciplines; cross fertilisation of ideas helps us to reframe, to create a portfolio of alternatives from a marketplace of knowledge and perspectives.

My mentoring sessions continued.

‘If you want to find a sustainable resourcing for what your team does with extra curricular enterprise and entrepreneurship education, and your vision for what it can become, you need to find a way to somehow tie it to the University’s research impact.’

Just a small design challenge then…

‘How might we make a case for enterprise and entrepreneurship education from subjects A-Z by tying it to research impact in a compelling way?

We never figure these things out alone. Innovations are rarely created fully formed. You make space to interact with others; discovery driven, networked learning. Things dance around in your head as ideas, comments and media content connect and take shape in your mind. It’s a process of trial and error, lots of false starts, dead ends and mistakes and then eventually a break through.

And the break through though came whilst listening to a video – an on-line learning video and a set of questions to make you think.

‘It’s nothing short of astonishing how a simple tool, used in the right way with the right coaching resources, is all it takes to propel you to an entirely different level of thinking’
