It’s been a strange end to 2021. Despite my best efforts, I got COVID. I guess that’s a first time experience, right? I had no symptoms. I was fully vaccinated and boosted, so I’m grateful for that. Truly. Then suddenly our water heater broke in our house and the dishwasher too as if they were simpatico; connected in some way. Weird. And I watched the news which is enough to tell you there’s plenty broken out there. Quarantining in the house while feeling completely healthy drove me nuts.

As I dare organizations and individuals and college students to Do the New, the word “innovation” comes up a lot. How do we create something new, do something new, stay relevant? My friend Greg Satell, has written a great book, called, “Mapping Innovation” and his theory is all great innovators do one thing:  they look for problems to solve. Greg says you find “stuff to fix” and to do that you have to spend time discovering what that is and then work to find solutions.
