Happy Accidents

I came across this beautiful message from Steve Jobs on how and when innovation happens. Being in the Fintech space and delivering solutions for clients, I find this message resonating so powerfully. Here’s to happy accidents.

Steve Jobs on happy accidents: 

“Process makes you more efficient. But innovation comes from people meeting up in the hallways or calling each other at 10:30 at night with a new idea or because they realized something that shoots holes in how we’ve been thinking about a problem. It’s ad hoc meetings of six people called by someone who thinks he has figured out the coolest new thing ever and who wants to know what other people think of his idea.”
