On Fridays I will post a Lean related Quote. Throughout our lifetimes many people touch our lives and leave us with words of wisdom. These can both be a source of new learning and also a point to pause and reflect upon lessons we have learned. Within Lean active learning is an important aspect on this journey because without learning we can not improve.

“What is important is ideas. If you have ideas, you have the main asset you need, and there isn’t any limit what you can do with your business and your life..” — Harvey Firestone

Ideas are important. Without ideas, progress isn’t made, change doesn’t happen, much of human development stops.But ideas can’t go anywhere unless they are realized and actioned.

When you put your mind to work — whatever the focus — don’t be afraid of what you think. You may stumble upon something brilliant. Your education is an opportunity to discover and let your mind wander. Will your ideas fit in with what has already been, with what is to come, or with nothing at all?

You’ll probably discard the majority of your ideas. That’s no bad thing. The more ideas you have, the more you should expect to pass by. Luckily, you should hold on to more ideas too.

Creativity is crucial for businesses today, especially when the market is dependent on innovative, breaking technology. The collaboration of creative minds has the ability to push creative business ideas into reality. Once your business brain is able to think outside the box, the possibilities are endless.

Creativity and innovation are often the reason that businesses flourish in today’s world—setting the bar higher for the next ‘big’ idea. Creative thinking leads to the implementation of innovative ideas in the workplace.
