THE INNOVATION ECONOMY

DO NOT FORGET

Remember there is no right or wrong!Don’t be practical!Criticising others' ideas is not allowed, taking advantage of them is!Don’t avoid ambiguity!Feel free to err!Think outside the box!Create “we” spirit!Insist that the ideas are “ours”!Be honest in your comments and encourage others to debate!Remember that you represent only yourself!

AS ALBERT EINSTEIN SAYS

If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always gotWe cannot solve a problem by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.If at first the idea is not absurd, then there will be no hope for it.
