Lesson 3: Change the rules of the game, but play the game realistically
If you want to change the world, then – as a true innovator – you must continuously adjust the rules of the game. For example, in development projects we eliminated the 'middle man' and brought people with a project in a developing country into direct contact with people who wanted to support it. It was called “Development Cooperation 2.0” and journalists increasingly began to ask whether this meant the end of the large traditional charities.
We did not go along with this. Because for innovation you need both the albania mobile phone number list 'wisdom of the crowd' and the 'wisdom of the expert'. Instead of seeking confrontation, it is better to actively seek rapprochement with the sector that you want to break open, in our case the development sector. Combating poverty costs money, and if you regard every expert as a bow with too much money attached to it, you will very quickly end up alone.
