Tackling difficult situation is just like driving. In our lives, we get to the stop signs when you must make the right decision to avoid being crushed. At that point, you are forced to pause, think and make a decision. For something new to crop up, we need to have a second look with an open heart. The natural instinct is there but we miss it at times because of the haste to achieve the desired goal. Never be afraid to fail but when you fail pick up your strength to rise again. We all enjoy electricity today, have you ever thought of how many times Isaac Newton failed before the success was achieved? The power to perform is right inside of individuals if we can listen to it.
New great ideas stem from a current need for advancement or to fulfill a gap. The best way to look at the problem with different eyes, is asking, investigating and listening to what people say. Not all ideas or conversations will be useful but out of the entire conversation a brilliant idea may emerge.
I agree that it is essential to step out of old habit, assess and evaluate with a different eye. Social media is one criteria that assist in measuring business performance and enabling fresh ideas.
"a practical hint" that I use to unblock myself when I stuck with a problem. I stop thinking anything about the problem, let's say I make a small brake but without thinking anything that relates with the problem. And suddenly a lot of ideas come ......
Furthermore, I believe if you want something new use your Imagination and trying to see from a different side.
Absolutely, that's how social media can be helpful, as well, in gainig feedback from your customer base about what it is working and what could be improved.
Great post! I think the best place to go is to the customer base you're trying so hard to retain in your sphere. Find out what's needed or wanted, then present and do that. It works and always drives success.

Peter Drucker famously said "Trying to predict the future is like trying to drive down a country road at night with no lights while looking out the back window." Yet in the razor's-edge world of electronics—with a lean supply chain and just-in-time demands—the need to know the future is vital.
While no one really can accurately predict the future, we can take guidance from another Drucker saying which is the best way to predict the future is to create it.
You've heard the saying "the No. 1 supply chain risk is your people." That hasn't always been the case. But today's complex global supply chain requires a new type of multitalented employee.
