When did you last borrow from an unlikely source?

Questions for you:

Am I too attached to a single framework or approach when solving problems?
What would it mean to hold multiple contradictory perspectives simultaneously?
Do I give myself permission to recombine ideas from different sources without feeling like I’m being inconsistent?

Questions for your organisation:

Do we encourage people to draw on diverse influences, or do we enforce doctrinal consistency?
Are we creating environments where idea recombination is valued rather than seen as lack of focus?
How do we balance coherent identity with the flexibility to adapt and recombine approaches?
