Some thoughts for last chapter of Steven Johnson's
WHERE DO IDEAS COME FROM
"The Fourth Quadrant"
In Steven Johnson's last chapter of WHERE GOOD IDEAS COME FROM he shares a 4 quadrant grid. Horizontall dimension is individual on the left and network on the right. Vertical dimension is for market driven on the top and non-market driven (sharing) on the bottom
p.229 shows listing of inventions, breakthur ideas from 1800 to present with the largest number being in the 4th quadrant: non-market driven networked.
How might the growth of the Creativity Movement look on such a chart with Edward de Bono in the 1st, and Torrance, Stein, Osborn, Parnes in the 4th?
if you are a creativity consultant where do you fit?
1st individual focused on making money with your ideas
2nd individual focused on sharing ideas
3rd network/collective/company sharing your ideas to make money
4th network/collective/association sharing ideas to help others with no or limited focus on generating money for yourself?
