Lou Needs a Clue

Lou has an MBA, and Lou gets things done.

But Lou’s five-year vision is not going to work out like he thinks.

In fact, the only thing that’s truly done may be his career.

Why?

Check out this first animated video from Lateral Action. You’ll meet Lou, and find out why he needs to get a clue as soon as possible.

  • Brian,

    I like the idea behind this site. I can no doubt assume that it was, at least somewhat, inspired by Thomas Friedman's writings in The World Is Flat.

    I was deeply motivated and inspired by Friedman's writing and I am excited by the future of the 'creative class'.

    It seems that a lot of great minds are converging on this 'creative capitalism' idea right now. Bill Gates spoke of it in a speech he gave recently, Friedman has written about it and there was a recent marketing book highlighting this growing segment of the population.

    The book is called Karma Queens, Geek Gods, and Innerpreneurs. It highlights the growing trend in entrepreneurship whereas people are motivated to start businesses by their creative drive, need for personal growth and desire to make a difference. I began writing about this topic back in May on my blog, Rise of the Innerpreneur.

    I am interested to see where you take this site. And I am excited to find another mind that is "spreading the word".

  • Ed de Bono is a favourite author of mine, so I'm pleased to subscribe to your feed. Lateral thinking is vital in the design industry.

  • Hey guys, would quite like some of the organizational skills of Lou to help focus the never ending stream of ideas - I guess that's partly what
    productivity + creativity is all about ? Looking forward immensely to Lateral Action...

    Cheers:)

  • Like everyone else, I'm excited about following this site. Productivity + Creativity = Success is a great launching point. And the saddest thing I've seen is highly creative people without the confidence to put their ideas out there.

    Looking forward to what comes next...

  • Work from exotic locales or that screenplay... lol. Reminds me of that "reverse funnel system" dude.

    The sad thing is the cool bloggers of the world may be outsourced and replaced by scrapers, computer programs, etc. too.

    Sincerely,
    Debbie Downer
