Ken Robinson talks about creativity
Looking around the Web for resources on innovation and creativity (I am giving a talk next week on that topic at a master course of Science and Information and Communication Technologies of the Telecomunication Faculty of the UPC) I came across this very funny but also thoughful and provoking speech of Ken Robinson, the author of “Out of our minds: learning to be creative”.
Best sentence in the whole video:
“If you are not prepared to be wrong, you will not do anything original”.
I believe that the fear of making mistakes is what makes most employees not innovative since everyone prefer to follow the crowd and not make mistakes (have you ever heard the sentence “you cannot be wrong by buying IBM?”).
I just ordered the book in Amazon right after seeing Sir Robinson talk in the video.
