Crowne Plaza 
is working with a series of progressive thinkers to bring you a collection of unique and bespoke innovations to help make your business travel more productive.
Stefan Sagmeister Designer
The 2nd innovation in the series is the result of a collaboration with Grammy Award winning designer, Stefan Sagmeister. Through his own business travels he has been able to put his time at Crowne Plaza hotels to good use. As he says himself… Travelling alone is helpful for a new perspective on life.
That’s why, together, Crowne Plaza and Stefan have created the Think Notes – a tool to capture your inspirational thoughts – whenever and wherever you have them.
Find out how Stefan uses his cards, taking his own inspiration from James Webb Young:
Hotels rooms
One of my most frequent sources of inspiration is a newly occupied hotel room. I find it easy to work in a place far away from work, where thoughts about the implementation of an idea don't come to mind immediately and I can dream a bit more freely.
- Think about a project from any possible point of view. From a new perspective, not taking anything for granted and remembering that assuming is stifling.
- Write every thought down on its own card. Fill as many cards as possible and then forget about it
- The Idea will strike you when you least expect it.
This truly worked many times for me. I wish you the best of luck with it and remember, being not truthful works against you.
