By: Nelson Tan Kiat Wee | - Do you recall the classic statement, "the only constant is change"?

- Innovation: Ideas Are Very Cheap But Are Extremely Valuable
By: Michael Angier | - At the turn of the last century there was serious discussion about disbanding the US Patent Office because many believed there were few inventions left to be patented.

Great leaders spend time illustrating the vision, the goals and the ...

- Things That Block Creativity
By: Creatinnvo | - 1. Prejudice. The older we get, the more preconceived ideas we have about things. These preconceptions often prevent us from seeing beyond what we already know or believe to be possible.
2. Functional fixation. Sometimes we begin to see an object only in terms of its name rather in terms of what it can do. Thus, we see a mop only as a device for cleaning a floor, and do not think that it might be useful for clearing cobwebs from the ceiling, washing the car, doing aerobic exer ...
