I've just completed the feedback form that Courtland sent out to active users. This was my reply at one of his good sparking question regarding what could be improved. And I felt a little bit ashamed that I didn't share this though with the community so far.
So here I'm..
"Sometimes I feel like all our ideas are slowly converging.
We are repeating the same story. Not only in IH but also on the most read business books and magazines. I want to say to the IH community: BE BOLD!
The next big idea is already there. Hidden somewhere, we just have to listen carefully and don't be scared to go upstream"
#fyi
Any tips on being bold?
I feel I grew my company by understanding my community, but also just looking to outside our industry for inspiration and ideas. I knew that if I focused too much on the software testing industry and competition then I wouldn't create something that I was happy with. But that there were plenty of other ideas from different spaces that I could adapt/borrow/steal.
It worked for me, is that bold enough? :)
I feel like some of us are converging in methodology, process, or timing, but not in other areas. I like that, it's like a temporal sync, like a small cohort within a larger community. That's how it feels with the people engaging in Harlem's daily standups anyway.
