About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

thank you Gregg. This is Wonderful.

Great talk.The analogy of innovation as bottled water and creativit as the spring is so simple, but really sums up what is so often lost in long winded definitions.

My coat would be red, sleek on the outside, with lots of internal pockets with treasures, tools and ideas that I can draw on when needed. The colour is significant as it's bold, and stands out, and challenges my comfort zone. Kristine (aka Creativity_City)

It would be really fun to hear what people envision when the imagine their creative coat.... add your image!

@melwood44 -- I guess you sort of have a video notebook eh? Notebooks can take many forms, the main thing is to become more aware of the ideas that are passing through your head, and not letting any good ones slip through the cracks.

The original title of the talk was "Creative Effectiveness" -- but I like the one they give it here. That bit was a complete ad lib, but it made sense to me to link what Lesa Roe said at the top of the day with regard to Doing Innovation.
