In today's competitive landscape, many professionals pursue the same opportunities using conventional methods, making it challenging to stand out. How can you discover new perspectives when most follow predetermined paths?
Networking expert Michael Roderick advocates for "windows thinking" as a solution to the challenges of conformity and the limitations of "doorway thinking." Unlike traditional thinking which relies on familiar paths, "windows thinking" encourages lateral approaches that involve shifting perspectives to uncover opportunities often overlooked by others. By visualizing problems through the "windows three" framework — constant, variable, and visual — you can generate innovative solutions

Michael shares actionable strategies for leveraging "windows thinking," highlights the power of active learning and Minimum Viable Insight (MVI) in innovation, and explores the six business currencies, emphasizing the power of positioning.
