Innovation lesson from Avatar: Learn or die

This past weekend I watched Avatar on my own screen with full attention to the dialogue and less attention to whether I was getting dizzy from the effect of the 3D glasses. In one of the scenes where Neytiri is training Jake in how to move through the jungle Jake says something that holds true for innovation: Learn or die.

 

We too are in the jungle, the world we live in never stops changing and we can never stop learning. The speed at which we learn has to be equal or faster than the market (jungle) we’re in and therefore keep evolving. Like the saying goes: Make change or be changed.

 

Are you learning as fast as the world is changing?
