In the product development world it is horribly common to see a chasm between thinkers and makers.

Thinkers come up with wonderful, paradigm changing ideas and then load them in to a catapult to lob them over said chasm to the makers all the while hoping desperately that those genius makers are some how able to make the impossible, possible. On the other side of the chasm, makers can be seen shaking their heads in confusion or their fists in anger as they try to make sense of the thinkers work. In the end when what is made does not match what was designed there is a usual round of finger pointing, things are delayed, and people are generally miserable.

Does this sound all too familiar?

If so, come find out how leaders, thinkers, and makers can bridge or even better, close the think-make gap and find better ways to collaborate in delivering value faster.
