Growing Ideas Beyond Imagination
The experimental framework of incredible value creation
Have you ever wondered about ideas? What are they? Where do they come from and where do they go? Why do we love some ideas and hate others? Why is it so hard to realize new and revolutionary ideas?

An idea can only unfold as much as the brains and minds involved can deal with.
Right after the first insight came another: If we want to grow ideas beyond imagination, we must grow ourselves. It’s not only about fitting the idea to the conditions. It’s about fitting the conditions to the idea. The human state must at any time match the idea phase. Otherwise, we risk missing the idea or losing ourselves in the process. By integrating idea development and human transformation, value creation can become more balanced and…
