counterintuitively resisting expanding their
business

Collaboration is my hot button. It is all well and good having many great ideas. But getting them done usually requires people with complementary and specialised skill. It is something I want to experiment with at Massey University, getting design students to engage with psychology, anthropology and marketing peers (etc). Just to reprise the topic of my first column in issue 1 of Idealog, it is a critical issue for New Zealanders. We need to become more ’open source’ in our thinking.
