Organizations exist to enable ordinary people to do extraordinary things.

Ideas are useless unless used. The proof of their value is in their implementation. Until then, they are in limbo.

Creativity is thinking up new things. Innovation is doing new things.

Anything in excess is a poison.

Ideation is not a synonym for innovation, conformity is not its simple antonym, and innovation is not the automatic consequence of "creative thinking.".

A powerful force drives the world toward a converging commonality, and that force is technology. … Almost everyone everywhere wants all the things they have heard about, seen, or experienced via the new technologies.

The trouble with much of the advice business is getting today about the need to be more vigorously creative is, essentially, that its advocates have generally failed to distinguish between the relatively easy process of being creative in the abstract and the infinitely more difficult process of being innovationist in the concrete.
