Take a little more time

education (The late sir ken robinson. an rsa animation)

How has your education shaped (and biased) your thinking? How is your thinking aligned with your purpose? Having polio as a child almost cost Sir Ken his education. One can only marvel at all he achieved educating the world on the realities, anomalies, and opportunities in education. Watch a 12 minute animation of some of his thoughts.

ideation (steve Johnson. A TED TALK)

To get great ideas, have conversations perhaps in a pub or coffee house. Innovation tends not to occur in a flash of brilliance, but in a series of connections made between different ideas. Promote open idea sharing and favor 'the commons' over protectionism. Watch Johnson describe why as he links conversations that enabled our smart phones.

idealized design (Ackoff and rovin — BOOKs & stories)

Listen to 6 minutes of insightful stories told by Dr. Gerald Suarez at Russ Ackoff's memorial service. You will not regret it.
