Today’s advice comes from Richard Grefé, executive director at AIGA:
今天的MBA小課堂的嘉賓是美國平面設計師協(xié)會的執(zhí)行理事Richard Grefé：

"Today, the power resides in those who have a sense of the way that knowledge flows. And that becomes critical because knowledge is growing at an exponential rate."
“當今世界，真正的力量來源于那些知道如何獲取知識的人。這一點很重要，因為現(xiàn)在的知識是以指數(shù)級的速度在增加的?！?/div>

Grefé believes that, in a world where knowledge is at the fingertips of anyone who has access to the Internet, people are forgetting a huge source of knowledge: other people.
Grefé認為，現(xiàn)在人們只要動動手指就可以從網(wǎng)上獲得各種知識，以至于大家都忘記了另一個獲取大量知識的途徑，那就是：人。

Beyond asking others for advice on company matters, conversation is a major source of acquiring ideas. Through loose conversation on any business-related matter, you'll find yourself coming up with ideas and finding inspiration. Before you hire someone to help your business, attempt to find solutions through word-of-mouth exchanges.
除了可以向他人請教有關公司事務的各種意見外，交談也是一種獲得靈感的主要途徑。通過那些和商業(yè)搭一點邊的各種交流談話，你會從中獲得很多點子、找到很多靈感。在雇傭專人料理公司事務之前，可以先試著從這種對話中交流信息，找到解決之道。

"For any individual to succeed, it has got to go beyond just knowing things. They have to be curious, they have to be thoughtful. And that doesn't come from social media and that doesn't come form deep-diving in data. That comes from thoughtful conversations."
“對于任何想要獲得成功的人而言，不僅要掌握知識，更要充滿好奇心，考慮周到。而后者不是來源于社交媒體，也不是來源于對數(shù)據(jù)的深入分析，而是來自深入詳細的對話交流。”
