Innovation
“What you need to do differently to get to where you said

“If I had one hour to save the world,
I would spend the first 55 minutes
analysing the problem and then 5 minutes on the solutions”
Einstein
Technique for producing ideas

“Part of what made the Macintosh great was that the people working on it were musicians, and poets, and artists, and zoologists, and historians who also happened to be the best computer scientists in the world.” Steve Jobs
P&G – Connect and Develop
2. Order and catalogue your thoughts
3 and 4 Incubation and the idea will come
5. Shaping and development of the idea
“ A new idea is delicate. It can be killed by a sneer or a yawn; it can be stabbed to death by a joke, or worried to death by a frown on the right person’s brow”
Charles Brower
The F Word
“I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.”
