Edward de Bono about creativity

Interesting movie in which Edward de Bono explains very simply how the software in our brain works, what the difference is between logical and creative thinking, the importance of uncertainty and being able to make mistakes, the role of provocation to come to out of the box ideas.

Where good ideas come from – Steven Johnson

Brilliant RSA video made by accelerated drawing about where good ideas come from. Most often somebody does not come up with an idea all of a sudden. People sometimes have half of an idea and it is only when they met a person who has the other half that the idea is born. Managing innovation is increasing the chance that those people met each other like in the coffee houses of Modernism or in the age of Enlightenment.

Born to learn

When we grow up, we are unlearning our creativity and our natural sense of curiosity. We learn to fit in the framework. This movie stimulates to stop live in contradiction with our natural way of learning.

We think – Charles Leadbeater

In the future innovation will come from communities. People don’t want to be rich through sharing their ideas. They want to be recognized for what they do. The mantra of the new generation is: ‘we think so we are’. People share everything with each other and it happens more and more. You are what you share.

Massive Open Online Courses

Learning happens more and more via networks. In a world where information is everywhere, you can follow a MOOC event. This is an online environment where people who are interested in a certain topic, learn from each other.  Everything is shared, you become part of the course, your network expands.  All info grows organically. A step to lifelong learning.

Blah Blah Blah

Interesting point of view from Dan Roam, writer of  ‘On The Back Of A Napkin’ in Blah Blah Blah. If you explain it to me, I don’t believe you. If you draw it, I don’t believe you neither. If you explain it to me with a drawing, then I believe you , since then you really thought it through.

Drive

Financial rewarding does not motivate. Autonomy, mastery and meaning do. Work on a task or idea autonomously work on a specific task or idea. Willing to be better for the sake of pleasure and recognition. Help to make the world a better place. That is the reason why people are getting up in the morning and go to work with pleasure,  that is motivation. RSA video after the book of Dan Pink.

How web video accelerates global innovation

Chris Anderson, curator of TED, explains how web video can accelerate innovation. Therefore you need lots of people with the same interest. You also need visibility and transparency on what the best people in this specific discipline are accomplishing. There needs also to be desire, people must really be interested to do it. If these 3 prerequisites are fulfilled, then the innovation wheel can be accelerated.

Steve Job’s vision on The world

In 46 seconds Steve Jobs is telling you that you can change the world if you want. The world is not like it is. Your life is not fitting into this world. Everything which has been created in the world, was by people that were not smarter than you.
