KEY # 1

CRISIS IS THE CRUCIBLE OF INSIGHT

Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose

FREEDOM

Man is born free, but everywhere he is in chains

Routinized work produces efﬁcient and predictable outcomes

What happens when things become unpredictable?

How likely is it that people will not panic in such circumstances?

STORY # 2

PILOTS

1983AC143 The Gimli Glider

2009US1549

How did this happen?

Why didn’t Sully panic?

“The training provides pilots with important technical skills -- they can practice ﬂying crippled planes -- but it also teaches them something more important: how to draw on an optimal blend of reason and emotion. They learn how to ignore their fear when fear isn't useful and how to make quick, complicated decisions in the most fraught situations.”

“Flight crews don't panic because they've practiced staying calm.”

Conscious,Yet Unconscious

4 stages of competence

Unconscious Incompetence Conscious Incompetence Conscious Competence Unconscious Competence

SKILLS

What lies beyond Unconscious Competence?

MASTERY

How do you master strategy?

“ The Master leads by emptying people's minds and ﬁlling their cores, by weakening their ambition and toughening their resolve. He helps people lose everything they know, everything they desire, and creates confusion in those who think that they know.” Lao Tzu

DEVOTION

I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity Who uses a machete to cut through red tape With ﬁngernails that shine like justice And a voice that is dark like tinted glass She is fast, thorough, and sharp as a tack She’s touring the facility and picking up slack

Tennis drills are repetitive and relentless. They teach the body to think, so the mind can do strategy.

Tai Chi combines discreet movements and a ﬂowing sequence that shapes the tranquil mind.

There is nothing secret about yoga. The poses are well established across many styles. But it is a bottomless practice

These practices are cognitive models for developing a prepared mind

FORMULA

ﬂow+ repertoire =insight

KEY # 2

Innovation favors the prepared mind

Where do you do your best thinking?

“How come I am most creative when I am listening to angry music”?

What do warm showers & Black Flag have in common

They help us let go

What can you learn from letting go?

You can learn how to know what’s next

Context

STORY # 3

PARKOUR

The idea was to pick what was best from every martial art ad create a brand new one...which is free.

Parkour trains the body to know what’s next

INNOVATION

Ceci n’est pas un innovation

Ceci n’est pas un innovateur

WHAT IS INNOVATION?

Innovation is the design of future value

Larry says we can develop a science of innovation

Saul says we need a platform for experimentation

Guy says, innovation is about getting better reality

How do we design better realities?

HYPOTHESIS

PARTICIPATION

Markets are conversations

True mastery can be gained only by letting things go their own way

INNOVATION

Innovation is designing for emergence.

The world is formed from the void, like utensils from a block of wood. The Master knows the utensils, yet keeps to the block: thus she can use all things.

PRACTICE FREEDOM
