[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP:  90% of the business world is linear and procedural.  However, the truly creative are not....Steve Jobs was not linear...Bill Gates, not linear.

In the science arena (where I play), I see a lot of linear thinkers who do not advance the state of the art.  Revolution is not accomplished by linear thinking.  Albert Einstein, Galileo, Newton, Darwin, all changed the world because they challenged the basic assumptions.

Ian Flemming discovered penicillin by accident.  Thankfully, he realized the importance of his "failed" experiment.

I see the impact of linear thinking every day.  It results in stove piped projects that are extremely inefficient.  It results in Gov't inefficiencies, and trillion dollar budget deficits.  And it results in the failure to recognize the patterns leading to 9-11.

It is a huge problem, and is not being addressed.  [/quote]

I don't disagree, but Apple and Microsoft are linear and procedural workplaces.

Contrary to popular opinion around DCUM, probably not one single one of our snowflakes is the next Jobs, Gates, Darwin, or Newton. (Actually, I'd argue that Darwin was, in fact,  a linear thinker. Galileo too. They followed the logical results of their observations).[/quote]
