The right platform for innovation provides liquid networks that encourage rapid information sharing, serendipitous encounters, the formation of slow hunches, the exploration of the adjacent possible, and the exaptation of existing solutions for solving seemingly unrelated problems. Slow hunches stay in mind and develop into an idea over time, and liquid networks allow such feelings to be passed around and intermingled with other hunches. Dreams and sudden sparks of thoughts explore the adjacent possible, combining various unrelated ideas and sometimes revealing unusual solutions to problems at hand.
