"You will never find time
for anything. If you want
time, you must make it."
                 - Charles Bruxton
Everybody and their
  mother is asking you
     to innovate these
   days. Everybody is
   asking you to “think
     outside the box.”
It makes a lot of sense.

        But when will you find the time?
Everywhere we go these
     days – no matter what
     industry – we hear the
  same complaints: “Who
has the time to innovate?”
“We’re running just to stay
in place!” Sure, it’s a good
       idea, but when? I’m
  already overcommitted.”
Clearly, everyone needs
      to find more time to
     innovate. Everyone
   needs to simplify their
   work life, so there are
   more opportunities to
 create, collaborate, and
turn top of the line ideas
into bottom line results.
Time
 Do you have it? Or does it have you?
YES, the act of finding
some time to make some
  time will take some time
 (ah, the paradox), but it’s
    time well spent. A few
minutes now will save you
weeks of frustration down
                  the road.
THE ALTERNATIVE?

    “If you always do
 what you’ve always done,
     you’ll always get
 what you’ve always got.”
And so, in the spirit of helping you
   find the time to innovate, IDEA
 CHAMPIONS offers you a way to
             simplify your work life.
            We call it “I-Squared.”
