  • All ideas are equal, some more equal than others…

    (via Threadless)

    A conversation in office on an unrelated topic led me to ask this question on Twitter.

    ..and @atulkarmakar gave me his perspectives

     

     

    Just like Atul mentioned, I had first considered whether it was because creative ideas were considered more personal  and a business idea/model an impersonal, corporate entity. But my starting point had been advertising, to which this does not really apply. Compare the reactions of Company A replicating Company B’s business model/idea versus them being ‘inspired’ by their advertising. In the case of advertising, both agencies might get paid and both clients might benefit. But in the case of a business, the second player could benefit from the mistakes (strategy/execution) of the pioneer and build a more successful business. That would be really unfair to the first guy whose business idea might have been a really creative solution to some need. And yet, it’s more likely that the aping of ads would spark a larger debate and the business cloning would be ignored. Am I missing something? Any perspectives you want to share?

    until next time, game of clones

  • Wish it were as easy…

    As easy as ideas, coming to you either by accident, or through planning.. some of them getting junked because folks aren’t ready for it, and some being given all the care and attention, by different people who have a stake in it, and seeing the light of day in around ten months or so.. some ideas that changes lives, and some that just keep changing..
    As easy as ideas growing, developing, learning, disagreeing with existing ideas that might be obsolete, taking core thoughts which wouldnt change even with time, exploring, meeting with other ideas, and getting whole new ideas to be born, and keeping the cycle going..
    As easy as the lack of ideas making sure that all the junk stuff comes out of the head correctly and exactly, five days a month… and all you need is a sanity napkin around your head whichwill just collect all the junk and dispose it…
    But maybe we are in an age of paradox, because according to everyone ideas are the future, but there are only few who are willing to take on the responsibility of bringing out an idea…

    until next time, do you have any idea about what i just wrote? 😉
