  A comment on Conversation: How can imagination lead to innovation?

  Oct 15 2011: A small and easy imagination exercise I teach: take two random objects and mix them, do many mixing iterations, until you get one that makes you smile - sign that you manage to surprise your left brain - then find an application, any, to this last funny mix. Eg. airplane is the result of mixing a bird with an engine. hope it is useful, (thanks for posting the question)

  Oct 15 2011: Creativity is an individual phenomena, Innovation is a team effort, imagination spawns both. Methodical imagination, disciplined imagination (these are not oxymora), is the core process of innovation. Imagination can be enabled, learned, developed, enticed by a proper environment and then should be applied to any successful innovation endeavor. See the "can" (not the usual case, today) and "should" (no other way) of the previous sentence. I keep looking for ways for the "can" part, how to enable people to be more imaginative and for the "should" part, how do you apply this better in the work process? Will welcome any ideas. Yes there is a sprouting "Innovation science" in time it will become more useful.

  Oct 15 2011: With time this will be the norm. Envision a kind of media loaded "Coursepedia", where teachers add contents and teaching methods and students rank usability and likeability.
