The stumbling upon of an insight that could come from literally any quarter, and the ability to seize it and turn it into something that will have your competitors kicking themselves and asking, ‘why didn’t I think of that!?’ (at which point you could gently -and smugly- point out ‘well, you weren’t listening’!)
