Principle Six

Here's something (attached) I wrote way back in the day - a bit of a manifesto - about business generation through Principle Six. Not totally on topic in terms of the Megazord but it helped me think through some stuff

A lot in that resonates.

The/a challenge IMHO is to develop a mindset to engage in 'lateral thinking and action' in this increasingly siloed age.

A topic for the *zord get together?

I think a "referral network" as outlined in the Principle Six document is a vital function of the zord (Zord Ltd is available as a company name by the way :) and a good way to get it started.

I think it can be much more than just that, but I think this section about not seeing each other as primarily customers or suppliers is important:

"they are not first and foremost about intertrading between the members. Rather, the members educate each other about their products, services and markets, and use the resources of network to give and get qualified introductions to third parties who may be a source of new business.

This is a more powerful proposition than simple intertrading, since the potential referral pool is madeup from the wider contact spheres of all of the members."

We're a relatively tiny market so we've got to be amplifiers and collaborators to make it work.
