Imagine seeing an opportunity, a problem or a completely different way forward before anyone else does. Would you trust what you see – or just assume everyone else must know better?
Pioneers are often remembered as extraordinary individuals who saw the future first. But noticing what others miss is only the beginning. An idea still needs the right timing, support and discipline to move from curiosity to impact.
That can prove difficult though when businesses depend on evidence. By the time an idea is proven, your competitors may already be acting on it.
In the opening episode of Series 15, we ask whether pioneering is a rare personality trait – or is it something we can all do? And is progress driven by one person, or by how leaders, teams and organisations work together to help a bold idea travel?
