Top Highlights

• If you want to get a different output, you've got to ask a different set of questions.

• creativity is the engine for innovation

• A main component of creativity is inquiry: Inquiry is about building curiosity.

• Being curious is the product of an information gap

• 'diverging questions,' questions such as "Why?" and "What if...?" and "I wonder...?" I think there's literally nothing bad t 02:05 hat follows the phrase "I wonder..."

• 'convergent questions.' They help us to get more tactical, so questions such as "What?" and "Where?" and "When?"

• We're constantly saying that we want to innovate, but if we want to innovate in a consistent and sustainable way what I think we need to remember is that what makes us uniquely human is creativity.

• I recommend that more of us should become clumsy students of something, of anything.
