Go get yourself some firsthand experience with technology.
I love this exert from the McKinsey Quarterly with Lorraine (Global Head of Marketing Google) covering how you keep relevant and in touch with trends:
“Well, you have to look at the world around you. You have to leave the building. Not enough folks do that; too many become very internally focused… But you have to go out and look at the world around you — see the people, how they use your products…You don’t understand the idea of paying with a phone until you actually pay with a phone. You walk into any store in Tokyo, beep, and it’s done.”
Business leaders need to start getting hands-on experience with technology…we have launched a new series of hands on events. Breaking out of your everyday to look, play and learn.
