1. The first one.

Two friends went to a mountain.
They met a polar bear.
The two men were so frightened and lost their words.

That very moment, one of the two men started putting off his backpack,and changing his shoes.
Apparently, he was trying to run away from the bear.

The other man, who was watching his friend's action, said to him,
"What are you doing now? You cannot run faster than a bear.

'What did the other guy say?



2. The second one.

There are cards with letters on one of it's two sides and figures on the other side.

Tool contents

It was great experience!

I reviewed hundreds of innovative tools in a couple month.
I've gotten valuable implications like how it works, when it can be used best,
the differences between similar tools, etc.

How do you think about this concept?

tool vs tool.

Wanna read this book..


Review - from Amazon

“Too many families and schools discourage creativity. I left home because I was determined to do what I wanted to do.”- Edward Albee, Pulitzer Prize-winning Playwright “It’s my belief that an artist should give people new glasses and a new cubistic approach to looking at themselves."-Julie Taymor, Theater and Film Director “I’m always trying to do things that no one has ever seen before.”- James Rosenquist, Artist “I think to be creative you have to resist taking the easy path."- Daniel Libeskind, Architect “If you think “I want to be famous,” or “I want to make a lot of money,” my sense is that you don’t go into most creative jobs.”- David Halberstam, Pulitzer Prize-wiining author “The motivation for creativity is most often the need to express your ideas to other people.”- Spike Lee, Film Director “We knew we had something so huge that Steve (Jobs) and I couldn’t do it by ourselves.”- Steve Wozniak, Co-founder of Apple Computer “I have always felt that, for me, creativity was really using excess energy.”- Dale Chihuly, Renowned Glass Sculptor “People get enraged at me because they think women should not write about the things I write about, because the things that I write about, in some way, break with their notion of what a woman should be.”- Erica Jong, Best-selling Author“There’s a conflict between professionalism that calls for minimizing risk, while creativity encourages risk.”- Milton Glaser, Designer

Innovation paradigm

We want to get another level of the innovation, which can be defined like this.
Solving all the daily works through running innovation projects.

The Critical-To-Quality of this concept can be set up as the projects activity coverage,
which is calculated by the time of project activity out of the total working time.

知恵

トヨダの誰は、こう言った。

知恵は必ず出てくる。
但し、困らない限りは出てこない。

切望はいらない、答えはどこでもあるから、、


GEの元会長 Jack Welchはこういった。

自身感と自慢心との間には剃刀の刃の差がある。

自身感のある人は何でもやる。
自慢心のある人はもう学ぶことがだめ。
