Let’s see…what ideas are we missing?
Ideas from people who don’t speak up as quickly as others. Ideas from people who don’t speak as loudly as others. From those who aren’t networked yet. From those we didn’t think to listen to. From those we thought of, but ruled out listening to. From those without voice.
Ideas that didn’t win the contest. That didn’t make the final cut. That were never entered.
The early, awkward, and tentative ideas that would be soon be vibrant, if only they were encouraged and explored and developed. The ideas that are not about acquiring, about getting more.
The ideas that are quiet.
