My innovation motto

In thinking back on my experiences innovating, a couple of themes emerge that I've condensed into this motto:

When it comes to innovation, dream with your head in the clouds and your feet on the ground.

Actually bringing an idea from concept to implementation requires a breadth of thinking. For invention, you have to be willing to free your mind of constraints, to dream a little. But to actually get something done, you've got be willing to look at data and be realistic about how to implement a dream.

Hence the need to dream while also remaining grounded.

That's what I think anyway...
