Most people think innovation happens in meeting rooms.

"Most people think innovation happens in meeting rooms.

With whiteboards. Spreadsheets. Strategy decks.

But the most powerful innovation tool is thousands of years old.

It's art.

On 12th March, #OpenDoorInnovation is trying something different in Zürich.

(Tickets to the event are in the comments.)

(If you haven't heard of us yet, #OpenDoorInnovation is a non-profit platform founded by Dr. Gitanjali Ponnappa, Andreea Stanescu and me to connect corporate innovators.)

We're swapping the conference room for paintbrushes.

Here's what happens when you paint:

→ Your hands move before your brain can interfere. That's exactly how breakthrough ideas work too.

→ You experiment without knowing the outcome. Just like real innovation.

→ You start seeing patterns everywhere. Which is what innovators do best.

Pari, a professional painter will guide us through the session (supplies included). We'll paint, talk innovation, and see what emerges when we stop trying so hard to be clever.

This is training your brain to think like an innovator.

I'm curious what will happen when we put down our phones and pick up a brush. 😜
