Visionary Creative Interchange—An Unusual Collaboration
By David YagerRegardless of the field, how often are new ideas dismissed under the premise that “we’ve always done it this way?” We may be up against the misconception that innovative or non-traditional approaches will be cumbersome, misaligned, and impersonal.
