1.2 Innovation Relies On Recombination, Chance And Collaboration

  • Every idea is a combination of other ideas. Innovation happens when ideas have sex. It occurs where people meet and exchange goods, services and thoughts. The inventors of motor cars did not have to invent wheels or steel. 
  • Most inventors find that they need to keep "just trying" things. Tolerance of error is therefore critical. An element of playfulness helps, too. Innovators who just like playing around are more likely to find something unexpected. 
  • Innovation always requires collaboration and sharing. Even the simplest object is beyond the capacity of any one human being to understand.
