Usually I feel that when I have a good idea, it comes from putting myself in a positive mindset and concentrate on my goal. Usually visualizing where I want to be is the most helpful way for me to form productive ideas. I feel like the speaker addressed that when mentioning the train of thought that others usually have to have to form good ideas.

The best part of this video came from the way in which the speaker presented his information. He spoke on how new ideas are just single acts but are more along the lines of a network of ideas. This means you don't just come up with one idea. There are many contributing factors that make up that one idea. I never looked at how people network things together in that way.

It was kind of eye opening to learn that these good ideas come about over a period of time rather than just happening at one instant moment. It often feels like a split second realization to me, but now looking back I realize all the conversations that lead to the light bulb moment. I agree that sharing information leads to new ideas. Having someone to bounce ideas off of greatly helps and stimulates the mind. I found the part about protecting ideas and information interesting because it is true. What if people and organizations were a little more flexible? What kind of things would be invented if more information was shared?

I think the biggest roadblock to sharing ideas is ourselves. People tend to doubt themselves too much to really share their creativity. I think that large group settings also play a part in this. It's not just about doubting yourself, but also about how you think you will be received by your peers. I think that the organization itself also presents roadblocks to ideas and creativity. If your company does not create an environment that encourages creative thinking and sharing, then you should not expect to receive any new ideas from your staff. The staff will be too uncomfortable sharing their ideas with their higher ups, because it is perceived as something that isn't done in that organization. To foster ideas and creativity, a company should start with the open and creative culture that they wish to emulate and work from there.

I liked this video a lot and enjoyed hearing the stories that the speaker told. It also addresses a good question that more companies should be asking and studying: what kind of environments lead to good ideas and innovations? I enjoyed learning that most good ideas come through slow hunches and that meetings and brainstorming sessions are the birthplaces of some of the best ideas. Also, I would like to work for Google so I can get paid to stay home for "innovation time."

Some great ideas do start out of nowhere and become very successful, but most great ideas start from another idea. Through sharing your ideas with others and collaborating together you may be able to come of with an idea that's even greater and more successful than the original one you had imagined. In order to keep up with innovation you have to learn from others. Whether it be a mistake or an idea that became successful and you can grow on it, using the things and people around you is key to making good ideas exceptional ones.

We often say, if you exchange an apple with someone, you still have one apple, if you exchange an idea with someone, you will have two ideas. Innovation takes great ideas from people with different backgroud with teamwork spirit build in their mind. This is why we value diversity in business world.

Interesting video. it defiantly shows that preparation and thought prepared and then sparked through group discussion has value. I find it kinda funny how they talk about Darwin mis-recording himself.

I enjoyed this video. I agree, in order to be develop a new idea or project you have to share your idea. When sharing your idea you are opening up doors for suggestions to better your idea and also potential feedback to be able to launch a better idea. Don't be afraid of what others think, all ideas are a good idea and unless your share them then they are just that, an idea and will never develop into a bigger better plan.

The idea/topic that really grabbed my attention was "Liquid Network". I feel like it is always the ideas that bounce back in forth that lead to a problem being solved or another method of accomplishing a task. The saying two heads are better then one is very relevant especially in today's society when there is a demand for out of the box thinking. It is vital in all organizations to discourage group think and to have input and ideas thrown at you from all angles all walks of life. I think this is so relevant today because as a society we are all so diverse and all are seeking different things and it takes more than ONE average Joe to answer all of our consumer needs.

I really liked this video, it talks about sharing your ideas with others and listening to others ideas. Feedback is important for growth and others can also stimulate new ideas for you. As humans we are afraid of rejection and judgement, but now after seeing this video maybe I will share ideas more.

Two minds are better than one. Shared ideas allow you to expand your thoughts and knowledge to lead to better ideas. Someone might understand an aspect better than you and can give you a better understanding of a situation.

The best way to create an innovative business is to share ideas with others. People would go to the coffee house, and share their ideas in order to create good ideas. It makes sense because if people bounce ideas off of one another, they can get feedback, and put their ideas together. I like how he referred to an idea as a network. He says that the brain works like a network in a community.

I think an important aspect of creating an environment for creating and sharing ideas is to have a diversified group of people. We all have different backgrounds and life experiences that shape the way we think about and view the world and its surroundings which makes all of our ideas and views about something different from the guy standing next to us. A good idea could come from a man in an expensive suit or a great idea could come from the man on the corner begging for change. Always be open minded enough to listen because who knows where the next great idea could come from.

Where do ideas come from? This video touches on the concept of how ideas are created. He says that an idea is not just one thought or a one time thing. An idea is a new network pattern in your brain. The question is how do you get your brain to form these new networks. Usually a great idea is formed from multiple other ideas. We feed off of others ideas. Ways to trigger the "great ideas" come in a comfortable setting maybe even through a conversation with other people. We all have ideas but many times we are afraid to share them until we believe they can work. But the key is to not keep those ideas to yourself but let them network with other ideas around you and that is when a great idea occurs.
