Careful there! That implies that the best way to come up with solutions to a problem in an industry would be to get outside of it so you can get an external, top-down perspective on emerging trends and unmet needs. Then if you get an idea, you'll get a bug to implement it. But everybody will just laugh at you and scoff, "Pssst - what would you know about that? You don't even work in that field! You're not credible!"

Which would put you in pretty good company.

I don't know if I was vague but I was specifically saying that you should immerse yourself in an industry you are interested in and then use technology to solve their problems.
