“The Mending Cobbler” is a very old story written by Armenian author Hovhannes Tumanyan in 1917. It tells the story of a cobbler who faces new challenges every day and who has nothing but his imaginative mind.
This story is perfect to start with a
team to reflect on and discuss inventiveness and innovativeness. Especially when a team is taking its first steps towards innovation work and perhaps a rather conservative, traditional corporate culture also prevails.
