making music.



Watching an orchestra is magical. A number of musicians seamlessly working together in harmony. You can't help but draw the metaphor to the creative process or, for that matter, any team effort.

Sometimes we lose sight of the larger piece as we move through our day to day. What if we approached our work not as a daily task but the same way musicians approach a symphony - guided by carefully drafted notes each executed in harmony. How would this change things? Process would take on new importance seen more as unifier, a map, like sheet music. Reviews would be akin to rehearsals. The final product - a symphony of careful practice and perfected execution. What would need to change in our approach to achieve this?
