Anything in excess is a poison.

Organizations exist to enable ordinary people to do extraordinary things.

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

A product is not a product unless it sells. Otherwise it is merely a museum piece.

Experience comes from what we have done. Wisdom comes from what we have done badly.

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

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.
