How to come up with a great idea?

Dave, I am not sure you have ever referenced Knowledge at Wharton – a fantastic monthly email that covers all sorts of topics on business, marketing and innovation. This months issue has an article “The Killer Question: Phil McKinney on How to Spark Innovation” that I thought you may find an interesting read after I saw your post this morning.

Dave,

What an interesting topic! However, can I be a spoilsport and propose a different view? In my experience, great ideas are a dime a dozen. The important activity is putting that great idea to use. Let’s see if that great idea can stand up to the onslaught of public exposure. Let’s see if it can withstand the fierce attack of vested interests. Let’s see if the originator has the fortitude to grab it and do something truly worthwhile with it. For example, like Steve Jobs could do.

Signing off to avoid the barrage of slings and arrows coming my way.
