Sparking a Culture of Creativity and Innovation

Co-founder and director of the Stanford d.school, George Kembel explains how empathy, innovation, and unconventional continued learning can lead to sustained success for a business or company.

New ideas and new ways of looking may provide the answers to challenges to U.S. competitiveness in business, education, government, and health care. In this week, our guests will reveal how they have created cultures of creativity that foster innovation. We'll define "design thinking" and learn about collaborations that extend knowledge across disparate fields and add value to society, products and services. We will discover how creativity can be taught and learned, and how to inspire creative confidence in ourselves and others. - Chautauqua Institution

George Kembel is a co-founder and currently the executive director of the Stanford d. school, also known as the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford University. He has led the conceptualization, design, and development of new products and technologies for over ten years in both research and industry environments.

As a Hong Kong permanent resident, I found it funny that he almost spoke as though it's on par with a third world country. But perhaps he didn't mean it that way.

Bravo!

@madhoyden Hong Kong, the place where leading technologies are installed.

@gary031183 Because not-for-profit organizations really care. How naive of me; oh wait...

[gary031183]

@A1R5N1P3R Nice way to make HUGE assumptions just so you can post and 'assholish' comment. Why don't you focus half your energy in a direction like these students and then you can talk.

If YOU actually did something with your life you probably wouldn't even care to insult others. You would use your energy to support your 'colleagues' in hopes of bettering the world. I'm sure these students wouldn't take the time to insult you after you acheived something/ANYTHING for humanity.

Peace!
