Innovate to Save Maidstone December 09

AggravationAggravation• I don’t have time to work with others any

more• They want different things to me and always

want to try to control what we do• For every ten ideas we have together only one

or two are even slightly interesting

CollaborationCollaboration• It’s good to get other peoples ideas on my

problems – maybe we do get stuck-in-a-rut• If we can work together, then we do save

money – and there’s not a lot of that going around at the moment

• It’s fun to think about different things – I get a buzz from solving problems and helping others – especially if it also solves my problems
