If not, why not? If so, can it be adapted to suit?" Applies equally to business, and learning in general. Good experience gets assimilated into the general knowledge pool. Usually takes time, of course. First thing I learnt as a graduate developer: don't write a line of code until you've answered the questions “has it been done before? If not, why not?

Thank you for acknowledging our interaction, I really enjoy it.Copy & Paste got me thinking.I'm OK with the 'copy' part, but needed to unfold the 'paste' - P.A.S.T.E.P - pay homage to the source. Always acknowledge where the material came from.A - add value to the material. Extend the thinking, add counterpoints, references, colour, experience etc.S - share your success having used and implementing the idea/material. How did you use it? What results did you get?T - twist it i.e. give it a fresh twist with your own unique style and flair (as you know, I'm a big fan of acronyms);E - examine the material - test it against your own truth and map of the world...kind of like I'm doing here.So if PASTE includes some of these ideas, then I'm all for it. If PASTE means to just pass it on without any form of contribution, then we all miss out on the opportunity for synergy and even better thinking.Best, Robin Hey Scott,The coaching is two-way, believe me.
