„Thinking out of the box“ is a concept frequently discussed, especially here on LinkedIn. Yet, how often do we truly see individuals follow through on it, particularly in environments where change might be met with resistance due to potential negative impacts on sales?
As a product owner, would you allow your creatives to go off and summon a „Heavy Metal Choir“ for your next game release which, yes, admittedly used a lot of heavy metal music, but a CHOIR?
Enter: Mick Gordon, the visionary composer behind the latest iteration of the DOOM game franchise.
Witnessing how he transformed such a stunning, unconventional concept from an initial idea to a finished product deeply motivates me. It reinforces the importance of continuing to think out of the box, trying new things, and staying agile enough to playfully experiment, evaluate, and eventually implement innovative ideas, concepts, and prototypes into our daily business.
(Okay, maybe not always a hell-spawn heavy metal choir!)
