My 12-year-old daughter and I taught 50 kids (6 to 12-year-olds) business model design today. Each kid started an ice cream shop. Our stress test for business tools for senior leaders are kids: If our tools are simple enough for kids to use them managers can use them too 🙂

That’s because experienced thinkers can get stuck in their old ways. If you’ve got a good ear, you will be able to tell when an inexperienced person is reasoning well. Like knowing whether someone can sing, it doesn’t take a lot of time.

Three to five smart, conceptual people seeking the right answers in an open-minded way will generally lead to the best answers. It may be tempting to convene a larger group, but having too many people collaborate is counterproductive ...
