Ideas Are Changing The World

To paraphrase Peter Thiel, co-founder of PayPal, we all recognize that ideas are driving the economy. In fact, ideas are what make people rich and change the world. However, even though we know that ideas are important, we're still clueless about how to best organize the production of ideas. This is where persuasion comes in. If you can get people to accept and embrace your ideas, you'll be successful in many different ways. Not only will you make a lot of money, but you'll also gain power and influence. And ultimately, you'll be able to change the world around us for the better. So if you have a great idea, don't be afraid to persuade others to believe in it as well. It could be the key to achieving great things.

In a world that is increasingly driven by ideas, it is more important than ever to be able to generate and propagate new concepts. Those who are able to effectively communicate their ideas stand to reap huge rewards, both financially and in terms of power and influence. While it may be difficult to know exactly how to best go about producing innovative ideas, it is clear that those who are able to do so successfully stand to make a significant impact on the world. As we move forward into an era where ideas are more important than ever, it will be those who are able to generate and communicate them effectively that will shape the future.

What an Automated Future Look Like

The future looks increasingly automated, with many jobs being replaced by AI and Robotics. Eliza Easton, principal policy researcher at Nesta, says ‘there are jobs that are likely to disappear over the next 10 years. If your job is comprised of tasks that can be automated, it makes sense that your work will vanish completely by 2050. Therefore, it is essential that we develop our abilities of discernment and creativity.

These abilities will become increasingly important in an automated future. With a keen ability to discern, we will be better equipped to understand the opportunities and challenges that come with automation. And with creativity, we will be able to develop innovative solutions to the problems posed by automation. Therefore, the future looks automated, but also offers opportunities for those who are able to think critically and creatively.

Survival Requires Innovation & Adaptation

Even after 55 years, Nike still remains one of the top brands in the world. Its dominance in sports retail is undeniable. And it’s also just an all-around beloved brand, among teens, adults and everyone in between. One of the keys to Nike's 50 years of success is that they have never sat back and rested on the power of their “swoosh.” Instead, they have always been willing to adapt to the changing landscape of the business world.

For example, when Nike first started out, they were primarily a shoe company that sold its products through brick-and-mortar stores. But as e-commerce became more popular, Nike quickly adapted by making sure that their products were available online. And when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Nike was once again quick to adapt, this time by shifting their focus to digital marketing and e-commerce even more. As a result of this willingness to adapt, Nike has been able to maintain its place as a top brand for over half a century. And there’s no reason to believe that they won’t be able to continue this success in the future.

Companies That Don't Stop Making New Ideas

Over the past year, Snapchat has faced some challenges. The company lost 5 million daily users in 2018, and 17 executives left. Many people believed that Snapchat would be bought out by another Tech Giant by 2020. However, Snap's CEO, Evan Spiegel, knew something had to change. Even though some big changes were necessary, Spiegel wanted to maintain Snap's innovation while applying the appropriate amount of process. The CEO now spends about half his time working on product and design. Spiegel's rectangular desk sits at the far end of a long room; no walls or soundproof glass separate him from his colleagues. His rapid innovation team meets every week to brainstorm new ideas. As a result of these changes, Snapchat is slowly but surely turning things around.

Netflix has long been the biggest fish in the pond of at-home entertainment, to the point where it’s a cultural staple. The secret to their success is that Netflix has a history of adapting their product and services. This has allowed them to navigate not just the introduction of high-quality competitors, but other substantial factors, such as technological advances, the changing structure of entertainment, and economical downfalls. And this ability to evolve with the market has led them to staying ahead of the curve again as new competitors threaten to make Netflix irrelevant. But despite these challenges, Netflix has remained at the top by continuing to adapt their offerings to meet the needs of their subscribers.

For example, when high-speed internet became widely available, Netflix was quick to shift from a DVD rental service to an online streaming platform. And as more and more people turned to their phones and tablets for entertainment, Netflix developed apps that made it easy to watch shows and movies on these devices. Most recently, they introduced a mobile-only subscription plan in order to appeal to customers in developing countries who may not have access to a traditional television set. By constantly innovating and evolving their product, Netflix has been able to stay ahead of the competition and maintain their position as one of the leading entertainment companies in the world.
