		<description><![CDATA[There is a common belief that most significant learning comes from our failures.   And yet there are mistakes that we seem to repeat, over and over again. Is learning from failure overrated? A few years ago, researchers at MIT suggested that we may not learn as much from mistakes as we do from success.  But there’s other research that insists we learn more from failure than from success, and we retain that learning longer. So, which is it? Do we learn more from failure or from success?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some people thrive in a group setting, and their creative flow is sparked by the frenetic and popcorn-style of a fast meeting with lots of ideas, or even if it’s not fast, in an environment where ideas are exchanged and developed by a number of people. Others think better when they’re operating solo. They solve problems and get more new ideas by brainstorming alone, preferring to work out solutions on their own...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Except group work can be clunky and cumbersome. You have to spend longer clarifying the objectives, aligning resources and getting people on board. Sometimes, it can seem nearly impossible to achieve the consensus necessary to advance within a task. Groups are a powerful mechanism to produce innovative solutions, but getting to that product can be arduous, particularly if it’s not well facilitated.

		<description><![CDATA[One widely used definition of creativity describes it as the <em>generation of ideas that are both novel and useful</em>.  There is nothing wrong with this definition, it accurately describes a class of ideas. But for some reason, despite the equal weight of the words <em>useful</em> and <em>novel</em> in the aforementioned definition, <em>novel</em> ends up getting the most emphasis. This tends to devalue people who are good at producing highly useful solutions.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What would the world be like with “frictionless” creativity?  What if we could easily engage with practically anyone, anywhere, at almost no transactional cost? How would that impact our capacity to connect with and catalyze our creative colleagues all over the world?

Without geographical constraints you could access talent from anyplace around the globe, while staying <i>put</i> in exactly the place where you <i>choose</i> to be.  The economic costs of an office could be eliminated, or at least the expenses of meetings and business travel could be minimized. The environment would thank you for reducing your carbon footprint.  Yes, you’d have to account for the cost of people’s time, but that could be classified as an investment with a potentially high return, especially if innovation can thrive, despite – or as a result of – the diverse perspectives of a virtual team. ]]></description>
