The first book about transformative ideawork is now available in Danish and Swedish online bookstores - soon also on Amazon. It is a project born under the pandemic, and it took some time and work to find the right way to unfold it. Finally, the book is printed and on the shelves, ready to inspire and move you. Below you will see my foreword. Enjoy your weekend. "Suddenly it was here. The virus. In a few weeks, distant thunder and vague forecasts had turned into a tsunami of distress and human suffering. We were all sent home, separated, and isolated, without knowing what would happen. For some, it seemed like a disaster. For others, like me, the change was not so dramatic, as I worked from home already. I was writing a book about innervation, supported by my friend and former colleague, Erik Kayser. Erik has a background in engineering and innovation. He worked as a consultant at the time, helping clients solve wicked problems and unleash the full potential. For this, he needed a framework or methodology. I was called to help him. Besides being a medical doctor and creative writer, I have worked as a facilitator and consultant for many years. Inspired by Theory U and Doughnut Economics, design thinking, creative processing, and applied neuroscience, I had created the brain-friendly approach to make change and transformation easy, fun, and rewarding. But it could not alone fulfill the ambitions. New insights beyond imagination were invited to emerge. Suddenly it was there. The idea. What if we could handle ideas as viruses? What if we could get to know and grow ideas before we showed them to the world? What if we isolated the most fragile and potent ideas to protect them from premature attack and rejection? What if only people with the proper training were invited to work with the ideas? The idea of the Experiment Beyond Framework was born. Now we needed to find an easy, fun, and rewarding way to onboard people to the framework. We knew who could help us. Erik Petri, illustrator, and visual documentarist. The rest was serious work and fun."

Sometimes great innovators are man-children who can be cringeworthy and toxic; They can also be crazy but sometimes they're the only ones who can change the world. I just finished listening to the Elon Musk Audiobook, which was thrilling beyond description. What a chaos alongside the genius that Elon is! Even with all the glamour that is around him, I for one would not want to trade places with him even if I could! A transformative takeaway is his Five Step Algorithm which can be used as a playbook for efficiency in whatever function one might be in. 1. Question every requirement. Each should come with the name of the person who made it. You should never accept that a requirement came from a department, such as the "legal department" or the "safety department." You need to know the name of the real person who made that requirement. Then you should question it, no matter how smart that person is. Requirements from smart people are the most dangerous because people are less likely to question them. Then make the requirements less dumb. 2. Delete any part or process you can. You may have to add them back later. In fact, if you do not end up adding back at least 10 percent of them, then you didn't delete enough. 3. Simplify and optimize. This should come after step two. A common mistake is to simplify and optimize a part or process that should not exist. 4. Accelerate cycle time. Have a maniacal sense of urgency. Every process can be speeded up. But only do this after you have followed the first three steps. 5. Automate. That comes last. The big mistake is that we begin by trying to automate every step. We should wait until all the requirements have been questioned, parts and processes deleted, and the bugs shaken out.

Forget everything you thought about writing being reserved for the Hemingways and Plathsyas of the world! With the help of @julie.tryme.co, I'm on a mission to prove that anyone can unleash their inner author. It's been a journey filled with battling self-doubt that could rival a Dostoevsky novel (minus the Siberian exile, hopefully). But hey, the more I write, the more I discover my unique voice. So, if you're tired of staring at a blank page feeling like a deflated whoopie cushion, join me on this adventure! Let's conquer writer's block together, share tips, and celebrate the joys (and occasional frustrations) of putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard, whichever floats your boat). Follow along for inspiration, a healthy dose of humor (because let's face it, sometimes the struggle is hilarious), and a chance to connect with other word nerds on the path to literary greatness (or at least, the ability to write a killer email). #Try Me #https://julie.tryme.co #http://tryme.co/

"Most readers' energy tends to flag part way through an article or essay. If the friction of reading is low enough, more keep going till the end." - Paul Graham, "Write Simply" As a startup founder, think of every email, direct message, or product description you write. When writing, ask yourself one simple question. Could a 5th grader understand this? If not, cut and simplify until a 5th grader can. It will 10x the impact of your message. Using fancy language and jargon is selfish. You're making the reader expand more effort just so you can sound smart. The most impactful messages are often the simplest. Use if useful. ✌🏼Linc

Solve problems, not puzzles We live in a world where starting new projects, businesses, or ideas are easier than ever before. Costs are down, resources are abundant, and nearly every person around the globe is just an email or Zoom away from connecting. New stuff is sexy! I’m a person with too many ideas. At times each one seems like the best idea ever. But after more thought, research, or realization, I decide it isn’t an idea worth pursuing. So, how do you decide what’s worth your time? I offer one piece of advice... Solve problems, not puzzles. Don’t get caught up in the flashy ideas. Dive into the ideas that solve people’s problems.

🌪️ The Aftermath of an Event: Science Meets Chaos 🌪️ You know you've been to a great event when the clean up feels like you're analysing the aftermath of a science experiment gone wild! 🔬✨ From chia seeds in the most unexpected places to something unidentifiable growing in a pot (still not sure if it's a science experiment or a snack gone wrong 🤔), tidying up after a Mini Professors event is a science in itself. Here’s what I’ve learned: Hypothesis: "Clean up will only take 10 minutes." 🤔 Experiment: Add in 60 sticky hands, 3 spilled pots of washing up liquid, and 1 enthusiastic slime maker. Conclusion: I’ll never trust my time estimates again!!!! But in the end, it’s all worth it. The energy, the smiles, and the creativity unleashed in these events remind me why I love doing what I do. 🎉 Running a business isn’t just about the polished moments, but the messy ones too – because that’s where the real magic happens. 🌟 Now, off to clean up more chia seeds 😣

Do your own thinking first: Before we consult anybody–books, experts, benchmarks–we should consult our most reliable and trustworthy adviser: ourselves. Doing our own thinking first prevents us from anchoring and biasing our thoughts based on what others are saying (and not necessarily with what is true). “Sometimes other people can add perceptual filters to our own observations,” writes lawyer and art historian Amy Herman, “The integrity of our search for facts can be compromised when we look for what we think we need to find.” A couple of techniques can be helpful here: • Using first principles: This is what sets physicists apart. “You look at the fundamentals,” explains Elon Musk, “and construct your reasoning from that, and then you see if you have a conclusion that works or doesn’t work.” First identify elementary truths. Keep asking why something is the case. Be relentless. Keep digging until you can’t find any other underlying causes. Then work your way back up, seeing how these basic truths relate to one another and what implications they may have. This will help you understand a problem inside-out. • Considering different angles: Don’t settle for your initial conclusions. They’re rarely the best. Stretch your thinking instead. Whenever you find yourself closing in on an opinion or conclusion, consider why it may be incorrect. Why the opposite may be true. Be your own devil’s advocate and don’t be lazy. • Going on walks: Spending time on trails gives an opportunity for our subconscious to do the hard work. It can be a wonderful source of creativity and insight. --- Notes: •The Amy Herman quote: Visual Intelligence by Amy Herman •The Elon Musk quote: “The Cook and the Chef: Musk’s Secret Sauce” by Tim Urban (https://lnkd.in/dwffkD3V) --- For more content like this, make sure to sign up to the newsletter: https://lnkd.in/dA8ATPRj
