The Power of Dots

Who would ever imagine that one dot can make something so innovative? We were so inspired by this blog: http://www.fastcompany.com/3020950/leadership-now/what-is-innovation written by David Brier, telling What is Innovation?

A statement that struck us the most: 
So what is innovation?
Those other dots.
The ones others miss.
And having the certainty to know that the dots you see are not only valid but necessary if the world is to move forward.
