The value of constraint
In this week’s episode of ScaleX Insider, I had a great conversation with the brilliant mind behind the Business Model Canvas, Alex Osterwalder. One particular insight from our discussion struck a chord with me and holds immense value for business leaders:
“The greater the constraint, the more creative and innovative we become. Constraints can foster greater innovation.” – Alex Osterwalder
Let’s unpack this. Constraints—those limitations that often seem like roadblocks—can actually serve as catalysts for innovation. When we’re faced with challenges and constraints, our problem-solving skills are put to the test. We’re forced to explore new approaches, and push the boundaries of what’s possible. That’s where true innovation lies.
So, as we navigate our path forward, consider this: Are constraints holding you back, or are they propelling you forward? How can you harness constraints as a driving force for innovation within your organisation?
Tune in to our podcast with Alex Osterwalder to delve deeper into this concept and gain valuable insights on innovation, entrepreneurship, and business growth. Let’s challenge the status quo, ignite our creativity, and drive meaningful change in our industries.
