I've long championed the idea that to change the way people think, you've got to change the way they communicate. If you want big ideas, you need to encourage them, yes, but also talk about them in ways that open up dialog, thinking and idea generation to a much larger dimension.

In 1995, I had an idea. Internet Telephony had just started. Internet connection was available only through dial-up modems, and not all the time.

People typically tend to look for solutions by focusing on the problems at hand, but is that truly the best approach? Although straightforward, it might not be the most effective way to find sustainable solutions to long-term issues.
