Where Do Good Ideas Come From?

Uncategorized No Comments »

At Great Getaways Travel we love to play with ideas—ideas to make your journey even better, ideas on how we can change and innovate, ideas to help our planet. Michael and I are in Fort Worth, TX at a meeting of Virtuoso Innovation Teams and the video below was part of our “homework.” We enjoyed it so much we decided to share it with you. It’s a TED Talk (TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design) by Steven Johnson. It’s 18 minutes long, so deep breath, relax, and enjoy! http://www.ted.com/talks/steven_johnson_where_good_ideas_come_from.html
