Enterprise & Inovation - Lecture 2

Ideas and Opportunities

What is an idea?

drinking alcohol lubricates he mind and makes ideas plentiful and we believe our ideas to be better.

Once you have an idea you should analyse it and decipher whether to carry it out. Ideas come out of nowhere and although you may think it is a good idea you might not be able to prove it.

Ideas are sometimes mistaken as being a plan.

ideas alone are not worth much - needs backing up

What is an opportunity?

An opportunity is a collision of people/money/timing/space etc.

Basically when the conditions are right.

Da Vinci - man with lots of ideas but in the wrong time

Concorde - something in its time

Nothing stays the same for long

- phone lines
- concorde
- fibre optic cables
