Videos on innovation, creative work spaces . . .

Thanks to Tyler for providing these links to three YouTube videos on a very innovative industrial design company called IDEO. All videos provide insight into how an innovative team works, as well as the space they work within. Lots to learn . . . well worth watching. Here are a few quotes:

They call their brainstorming a "deep dive", with a few guidelines
  • Encourage wild ideas
  • One conversation at a time
  • Stay focused
  • Defer judgment (ring a bell if someone criticizes)
  • Build on ideas of others
They refer to their work environment as "focused chaos". And chaos can be constructive and teamwork!

Other quotes . . .
  • Fail often to succeed
  • Enlightened trial and error succeeds over the planning of a lone genius
  • This is where the crazies work!
  • Being playful is important to being innovative!
Staff within EET are already demonstrating some of these ideas? What ideas can you see us incorporating to take it further?
