Brilliant introduction. And I never attributed that quote to Maslow before. So that’s cool!

Maslow said, “If you have a hammer… then everything you’ll see is a nail.” Basically, when we acquire or are given a specific tool or skill, we tend to be influenced by its function and utility — leading us to see opportunities to use that tool or skill everywhere. This creates a bias for a particular tool or process to the detriment of more counter-intuitive thinking and solutions.
Trying to Innovate? Put down your hammer.
