Mike Hines :: We Want Faster Horses (On Innovation)
7July 26, 2010
While drafting this post I happened across an anonymous quote and it struck me as relevant. If Henry Ford had asked his customers what they needed they would have said faster horses.
History confirms that Mr. Ford was not ignoring his customers, simply listening better than most with vision firmly fixed on the horizon. A paradigm shift in the making. [ . . . ]
Mike Hines :: Building Moxie and Your Role in Sustainability
5September 29, 2009
Sustainability, like moxie, is a broad topic, for sure. It is subject to interpretation dependent upon frame of reference. Its meaning to an architect differs from that of a wetlands expert, which varies from the product designer, which is dissimilar to the viewpoint of a homeowner, etc.
So why connect moxie and sustainability for this discussion?
The connection, I believe, is that moxie and sustainability are both lifelong journeys, and I find no downside to pursuing either or both. These are odysseys in which everyone has the chance to both participate and contribute in additive ways. In aggregate, then, enormous positive change becomes possible. [ . . . ]
