An Easy Way to Remember Where You Parked Your Car

Why?

Hasn’t it ever happened that you forgot where you left your car at the car park?

How?

Take a quick picture with your phone of where you parked before leaving the car. Most car parks have some signage indicating location, so include that in the picture. Another way is for the car park operator to have a scannable code (like a QR code) visible for each space. You scan it, and it will tell you where it is so you can consult it when you want to leave.

Get an Independent External Watchdog

Why?

Creative people want to facilitate change. Sometimes it better to keep the old and not change. How do you make sure when is the right time for a change and when is it better not to?

How?

Get an external ombudsman to keep a watchful eye continuously on your operations, plans, projects and also the market. He will be impartial and any recommendation he will make, he will also support with detailed analysis and explanation.

Why?

Publish certain books in audio format narrated by different celebrities (actors, business leaders, etc.)

Make Your Real Book Interactive

Why?

You cannot click on a word in a real book to get more information like you can in an ebook reader.

How?

By wearing an augmented reality device (like Google Glass) that can also visually track what you’re doing (like hand gestures), you can simulate the act of clicking on anything in a book and see more information about it projected on the page you are reading.

The Modern Dating Club

Why?

To help people find each other romantically by using the best of both worlds, offline and online.

How?

First, online. People sign up and fill their profile details.
Second, offline. People go to an event at the dating club. It’s like any other bar or club, with drinks, a dance floor, love entertainment, etc. Only people who registered online can enter the event, and each gets a badge with a number to stick on their chest (similar to what you get at a convention.) When you are there, you try to enjoy yourself, look around until you see someone you like.
Finally, both offline and online working together: you then open the app and type in their number, check their profile, and if you are interested you “poke” them. They get an alert and can check your profile, and if they are also interested they “poke” you back. If that happens, you can look for each other in the crowd (or the app will tell you both where to go to meet each other – you already know how the other one looks) and take it from there. If not you just continue having fun until you see someone new you like and repeat the procedure.
