Ideas are useless unless used.

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

The fact that a consistendy highly creative person is generally irresponsible in the sense that we have used this term is in part predictable from what is known about the freewheeling fantasies of very young children.

Nothing drives progress like the imagination. The idea precedes the deed. The only exceptions are accidents and natural selection.

An industry begins with the customer and his or her needs, not with a patent, a raw material, or a selling skill

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

All organizations are hierarchical. At each level people serve under those above them. An organization is therefore a structured institution. If it is not structured, it is a mob. Mobs do not get things done, they destroy things.
