Where Do Good Ideas Come from? According to Steven Johnson

Shifted British culture

Places to share ideas

Collaboration

Crucial to spread of enlightenment

Collective creativity

The Grand Café of 1650



Creative innovation spaces often look chaotic

What’s the environment that leads to creativity? Environments like networks that bring together people from different backgrounds to drive innovation

Collaboration Is the Key to Creating Innovation

Q

The Innovation Leadership Disconnect

“ Executives say innovation is very important, but their companies’ approach to it is often informal, and leaders lack confidence in their innovation decisions.”

Cisco Confidential 18

65% say innovation is a “Top 3 priority” for driving growth

Only 5% say it is NOT a priority

And 14% say it is THE “top priority”

BUT only 36% say innovation is part of what the organization does

34% say innovation is a part of leadership’s regular agenda

BUT a third say it is governed in an ad hoc way


Final Thoughts

• Communications technology creates today’s collaborative coffee houses

• You MUST tap into the best sources of innovation

• You MUST support anytime/anywhere

• You MUST recognize work/life blending

• Canada’s future depends on driving greater productivity

• Innovation through collaboration is both key and essential
