The problem with . . .

. . . is that it's dated, being the catch phrase to help push the creative juices in the 80's and early 90's; when TV was it, when corporations dictated everything and democratization of the market was at least 10 years away.  During those years, if a company wanted the innovative juices to start flowing, all you had to do was throw those magic words on the table - "let's think outside the box" - and voila; you were on your way! But times have changed. . .

With our initial discussion of  this in June of 2007, the sole point was that in the 21st century a new day is being ushered in. We are in the  midst of new times with a paradigm shift that is well underway.  The Google's, Apple's, crowdSPRING's, Facebook's and Threadless' of the world are already outside the box and if you want to be competitive and have your share of the market you are going to have to take it to the next level. 

What is the next level?

The intersection. . .

Thanks so much for mentioning crowdSPRING in your post. We're honored to be included with companies that we much admire. And you are absolutely right that the paradigm shift is well under way. Old ways of doing business are being challenged in industry after industry. In six months, crowdSPRING has built a great community of creatives - 10,000+ from 130+ countries. And they're competing, side by side with established professionals and people with decades of experience. We're excited to see how this paradigm shift will move industries.

Best,
