Failure and catastrophe can provide a huge impetus and opportunity in stimulating transformation, new ideas, and new directions in business and in oneās personal life.Ā Sometimes a storm, while devastating in the moment is exactly what we need to shake us from stagnation.Ā
Trigger points are small knots in muscles, which cause pain where it originates and/or in a spot that may seem completely unconnected.
Trigger points can decrease the range of motion and can cause muscles to fatigue quicker than they normally would.
For example, you may experience a sharp pain in your elbow, but that pain is caused by a trigger point in your shoulder blade. Such pain is known as referred pain and comes from the nerves impacted by the underlying cause of your symptoms. You seek relief for the obvious elbow pain, but the cause of that pain lies with a weakness in your shoulder blade.
The origin of the pain is not immediately obvious, while it manifests in one place, the cause lies elsewhere that is not so obvious. If you are working on transformation programmes with organisations, it is essential to identify “innovation trigger points”.
