The secret to unlimited ideas


There is one thing you need to do to have unlimited ideas.

Simple. Easy.

But it requires discipline and open mind.

​

Observe.

That’s it.

​

Look, Jane Goodall was a lady with no formal education. She just loved animals.

In 1960, she went with Louis Leakey, an anthropologist to Tanzania, to give him a hand.

They studied chimpanzees’ behaviour.

​

Not much equipment, no laboratory, no guidance. Just a notebook and a pair of binoculars.

For a long time, she couldn’t get close to them, but her perseverance paid off.

Slowly, she noticed details no one had documented.

She observed behaviours that shattered long-standing beliefs, such as chimpanzees using tools, previously thought to be an exclusively human trait.

Patience and the power of observation simply revolutionized wildlife research and our understanding and views of our closest relatives in the animal kingdom.

​

Just by looking.

Just by observing with the intention to learn.

​

This is why I love to be surrounded by successful people making business.

I take my popcorns and enjoy.

I observe. I learn.

Then, I even try the things that I learned.

​

You can save years by doing that yourself.

Observing with the intention to learn.

Observing people’s behaviours, observing trends, observing investors, observing businesspeople.

With open mind, without judging. Just observing.

​

Then, geeks like me put those things into practice…

I’m an engineer. By accident. But an engineer nevertheless. I’ve seen landslides during construction, and after construction. Specifications not converting properly between inches and cm. Expansion joints popping up in summer like popcorn. Pavement failing in the first winter after opening. Subcontractors going broke. Or bought by the competition you stole the project from… But still… 80% of serious PPP failures are NOT technical… They are contractual. Risk allocation errors Toxic KPI regimes...

You know I’m no fan of the World Bank. But from time to time, curiosity opens some doors. This is what I found. More than 50% of PPPs are renegotiated… Let that sink in. 50%. And usually in favor of the private sector... 50–60% of PPP contracts in developed countriesand up to 70% in emerging marketsare renegotiated within the first 5–7 years. So the contract you sign is not the contract you live with. What does it mean? Simple… It means the real risk allocationis not the one approved by...
