This sounds like the start or end of every #designthinking #ideation session I facilitated in the past. For every brilliant idea, there’s is a counterintuitive policy or standard operating procedure somewhere. Challenge is: How do you switch and make people believe in bending the rule just once to prove your experiment?

Consistency is a powerful force that can shape our lives and propel us towards #selfdevelopment and personal growth. It is the unwavering commitment to a set of actions or habits, executed with discipline and determination, day after day, week after week, and month after month. The power of consistency lies in its ability to compound small efforts over time, gradually building upon each action and creating a compounding effect that can lead to remarkable results. Just as a single drop of water may seem insignificant, but when combined with countless others, it can form a mighty river, consistency transforms seemingly inconsequential actions into profound #transformations. #qualitymanagementaustralia

Ever feel like 90% of what you see online is just... average? Whether it’s scrolling through social media, reading books, or even watching new movies—there’s a lot that’s just “okay.” This reality is what Sturgeon’s Law captures: "90% of everything is mediocre.” Coined by sci-fi writer Theodore Sturgeon, it suggests that in almost any field, only a small fraction stands out. But here’s the silver lining: if 90% is mediocre, we have two big opportunities: 1. Be Selective – Focus on the best content, products, or connections.     2. Be the 10% – Whether you’re building a product, creating content, or leading a team—strive for excellence. It’s what will set you apart in a crowded world. In a sea of average, true value stands out. When we know this, we can tune out the noise and create with intention. #QualityOverQuantity #SturgeonsLaw #Leadership #Focus #Innovation #Excellence

But... how do you actually work Julie? Advocating for an eco-system approach to driving change and growth, while explaining my way of working in an - oftentimes - engineering heavy environment can sometimes be a challenge 😅 And as I'm not one to back down on challenges, inspired by Line Hviid I'm now sharing my first attempt at clarifying a bit on how I approach new engagements with a client. The first sketches to this came about after a session at Oslo Business Forum, and in the early hours of the following morning I drew icons and let my mind work. Now the feedback will be interesting - does it make sense? #advisory #businessdevelopment #waysofworking
