79 Quotes by Max McKeown

Before innovation - or practical creativity - there is insight. You must see the world differently.

Plug into the anti-obvious power of the rebel. Or get those opposing minds to plug into your purpose, to solve your problem, to reimagine your process.

If there are no new ideas, there is no innovation. And if there is no creativity, there are no new ideas.

Problem-insight precedes solution insight. Someone has to recognise a problem before they start to solve the problem...

Innovation is deviance which means that the rebellious personality is a natural resource for practical creativity. As an innovator, you need to reject the old to establish a new, better, status quo. And one of the most powerful sources of newness is the rebel or maverick, mind.

Our human history is the history of ideas. Our human future is the future of ideas. Human desire. Human imagination. Human ingenuity. Creating and copying. Tool-makers and dream-chasers.

Innovators make the previously impossible possible.

New ideas are like babies, beautiful, ugly and not finished yet.

It takes a community to raise a new idea - Pioneers, trendsetters, hipsters, hackers, hustlers, trailblazers, inventors, heretics, creators, problem-solvers, optimists, obsessives, firestarters, scientists, risktakers, disrupters, gamechangers, explorers, and garage heroes... People like you.
