Introducing the intersection
The intersection is a place where different cultures and disciplines connect, ultimately
forming a multitude of new ideas

Our favorite example
A children’s hospital called on the Ferrari Pit Crew for help with hand-offs in high-
pressure situations
A HOSPITAL RACES TO LEARN LESSONS OF FERRARI PIT STOP

Imagine this
You probably can’t imagine a scenario where these two companies would share
any common ground

A common issue
One of the more annoying bathroom experiences is related to the toilet paper
category - storing the rolls
5
Inspiration for a solution
The solution just might be an approach already used by brands in the beverage category
6
An innovative solution
A gravity-pack for a toilet paper brand! It makes storage easier…leads to some interesting on-
shelf branding opportunities…and ultimately brands the linen closet
7
The point
Embrace the open-source movement and collaborate with partners whose core area of
expertise or personal passions/hobbies intersect with your specific objective/challenge so
you can learn from (and maybe even borrow) some of their tried-and-true approaches
