Daily Inspiration: "World-class aren't afraid of big ideas!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
Being bold matters.
Being bolder matters more!
The era of 'moonshot thinking' and 'moonshot innovation' envelopes the mindset of world-class innovators. When I was compiling my list of what world-class innovators do that others don't do, it was evident that it didn't just inhabit their minds - it was fundamental to everything they do.
What is moonshot innovation? It's the philosophy and approach to innovation that focuses on achieving radical breakthroughs and innovations, rather than just making small steps. The term "moonshot," of course, originates from the ambitious scale of the Apollo 11 mission, which successfully landed the first humans on the Moon—a feat that seemed almost impossible at the time. Moonshot innovation involves ambitious goals, thinking about big opportunities with radical ideas, within available and yet-to-exist breakthrough technologies and materials - in other words, chasing the impossible to make it possible.
After the dot.com collapse of 2000-2001, many people soured on the potential and promise of technology, connectivity, and the future - a sour mindset was pervasive, negativity was persistent, and small minds returned to doing small things.
Not so for moonshot thinkers - the following years saw one of the biggest bursts of innovative thinking of all time.
Moonshots matter. Bold thinking is everything. Big bets are necessary.
