In a recent blog post, Ikka warns that it is all too each to get ‘trapped’ in mindsets and personal routines that shut us off from potential serendipitous experiences. I think we’ve all fallen into these traps at some point in our lives; being too busy to be able to seize an opportunity that might well have been useful for us, looking at our smartphones whilst in a rush somewhere only to have potentially missed something or someone important in our environment.
In this blog post, I wanted to share some of the ways that Ikka suggests that organisations can open themselves to serendipity. I would argue that many of these ways can be incorporated by individuals too.
