I love playing games. I believe that there are great benefits in playing games and in adopting a playful approach to life in general. Games help develop a range of vital skills in children and they love playing them. Games can also develop the same skills in adults but many grown-ups consider games to be childish and not worthy of their time. This is a pity and a missed opportunity.

It is a Latin phrase which means “to whom is there a benefit?” Always ask this question honestly and without bias when you are listening to advice about a new idea, innovation proposal or service offering.

Did your advertising agency suggest it is time for a brand refresh after your new product didn’t fly off the shelves?
