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
