The 4Ws of Innovation: Growing your ideas from human dynamics.
The very first day five minutes of my very first class on my very first day of college, my economics professor said all economics should boil down to answering a simple question: "who's doing what to whom and why?" Focusing on this question could guide product development team or marketer in this age of me-toos, novelty chasers, and hair-splitting inventions to a place where they know how to create real value.
