Design/methodology/approach

This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.

Findings

Most people are familiar with the story of the sticky note, where employees of 3M accidentally discovered a low tack adhesive and applied it to some scraps of paper to help keep reminders and other things on place. While originally ignoring the idea, it gained traction internally and in the late 1970s the Post-it™ became a runaway success. It is not without irony that software developers on the cutting edge of digital design use sticky notes as an essential part of their Agile methodology. While virtual sticky notes certainly exist, there seems to be no substitution for a hand-written note placed where everyone can see it.

Practical implications

Provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations.
