on the problem for a while.• Focus on problems that might be addressed
with media of some sort

A case study
Imagine that the founder of Amazon.com is thinking about acquiring a media company.
He needs to make a presentation to his board explaining what innovations from
Amazon.com he’ll apply (one way or another) to the media venture. The
presentation is later today. He’s given your team 20 minutes to come up with your best
ideas.
