Growth rarely begins with asking, 'What should we build?' It begins by paying close attention to how people already behave. The strongest innovation often feels obvious in hindsight because it grows from real habits rather than assumptions.

Whether facilitating innovation workshops, observing how families interacted with cereal at the breakfast table, or identifying opportunities to extend one of the world's largest detergent brands, the process remained remarkably consistent. The answers were already there. The work was recognizing them and translating them into ideas people would naturally embrace.

Sometimes growth means creating something entirely new. Sometimes it means revealing an opportunity that has been there all along.
