Everyone reads a different book. That's what's interesting. Everyone sees a different film, as well. We bring our past lives to whatever work of art we're experiencing at that moment, and that's what makes it interesting. It's not mathematics. There are different answers for different people.

Let's face it: Most companies in most industries have a kind of tunnel vision.

The most important question for innovators today is: What do you see that the competition doesn't see?

Bill Taylor
