Once upon a time, I had an interesting meeting with an Architect who had an established relationship with Sheik Mohammed from Dubai. After a number of building projects had been completed the Sheik asked the Architect to build a hospital for him.

The Sheik was a man of few words and the Architect had a short Q&A session to get some basic information. Based on this, the Architect had a vision in his mind of what the hospital would look like. A few days later the Architect had drafted out a concept and presented it to the Sheik and stated “This is a basic layout but I’m not sure how many beds you think you would need”. The Sheik looked at him long and hard and replied “What do you mean - beds! This is a hospital for my camels!!!”

I am sure there are many learning points in this - aside from making assumptions and asking the right questions. Any other learning points, do you think???
