- In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
1/ reframe the problem
2/ use jokes for inspiration
3/ connect ideas
4/ challenge assumption
5/ knowledge (pay attention)
6/ attitude (drive and motivation)
7/ habitat
8/ resources
9/ culture
1:00 We look at creativity in much too narrow a way
1:05 We need to open the aperture and look at creativity in a different light
1:18 Things we need to unlock creativity -- the "innovation engine"
1:28 What comes from you: knowledge, imagination, attitude
1:35 The outside: resources, habitat, culture
1:51 We don't teach people (in school) how to increase their imagination
1:59 There really ARE ways to increase our ability to come up with interesting ideas
2:39 The way you ask questions determines the type of answers you'll get
2:45 The question you ask is the "frame" in which answers will fall
2:49 If you don't ask the question in a thoughtful way, you're not going to get interesting answers
3:39 Jokes almost always switch frames (making them funny)
3:46 Practice framing and re-framing problems (to increase imagination)
3:55 Connect and combine ideas (to increase imagination)
4:01 Most inventions come from putting things together that hadn't been put together before
4:10 Practice the Japanese art of chindogu (creating un-useless inventions [not useful nor useless])
4:28 Ideas might not be practical but they unlock other interesting ideas
5:10 Come up with creative ways to connect things in interesting and surprising ways
5:35 Challenge assumptions (to increase imagination)
5:48 Practice solving problems where there is not one right answer
7:40 Three things to increase imagination: framing and re-framing, connecting and combining ideas, challenging assumptions
7:48 But unfortunately, this isn't enough -- you need the other pieces of the "innovation engine"
7:58 Your 'knowledge' is your toolbox for your 'imagination'
8:10 You need a depth of 'knowledge' to bring ideas to life
8:24 One of the most powerful ways to learn and gain 'knowledge' is by paying attention
8:33 Pay attention to see problems you can solve and solutions which are in front of you
8:44 Go to places you've been many times but look at it with fresh eyes
8:58 The Stanford Safari study: asked for different points of view about Stanford (from groundskeepers to Presidents)
9:31 But, 'imagination' and 'knowledge' are not enough
9:35 You need the 'attitude', mindset, motivation, and drive to solve problems
9:52 Most people, unfortunately, view themselves as "puzzle builders"
9:58 They see themselves as having a very defined task, needing to get all the pieces together
10:08 But if you're a "puzzle builder" and you're missing 1 or 2 pieces, you can't reach your goal
10:16 True innovators and entrepreneurs see themselves as "quilt makers"
10:22 They take the 'resources' they have around them, leverage the materials available and create something surprising and fascinating
10:37 We have to view ourselves as able to leverage 'resources' to make amazing things happen
10:50 Our 'knowledge' is our toolbox for our creativity -- our 'imagination' is the catalyst for the transformation of the 'knowledge' to new ideas
10:58 Our 'attitude' is the spark that gets this going
11:02 But unfortunately, that's not enough
11:06 That's why there are so many creative people who aren't living up to their potential
11:12 They're not in environments that foster, stimulate, and encourage innovation
11:22 'Habitats' are people you work with, rules, rewards, constraints, incentives, and physical space
11:38 Kindergarten is a stimulating environment: colorful, manipulatives, room is flexible
12:20 These type of offices were designed to be like prisons
12:40 Every stage (environment) we're in tells us how we should act
13:15 Creative work environments are not frivolous -- they're saying innovation, creativity, and playfulness are valued here
13:25 But this is not enough
13:28 We have to think about the 'resources' we have in our 'environments'
13:47 'Resources' can be processes we put in place, cultures we build
14:21 Don't replicate resources of someone else -- use the resources you already have
14:30 'Culture' is important
14:36 'Culture' is like the background music of a community, organization, team, and family
15:05 Think about how you feel and if you'd want to be there
16:30 The inside and outside (elements of creativity) are woven together and can't be looked at in isolation
16:40 The 'habitats' we build are the external manifestations of our 'imaginations'
16:45 If you can't imagine it, you can't build it
16:49 Then, the 'habitats' we build affect our 'imagination' -- the way we think, feel, and act
16:57 The more we 'know', the more 'resources' we can unlock
17:00 The types of 'resources' we have determine what we 'know'
17:13 'Culture' is the collective 'attitudes' of the community
17:17 The 'culture' affects how we think
17:25 The "innovation engine" is so powerful that you can start anywhere
17:29 If you're a manager, you can set the 'culture' or build the 'habitat' to stimulate the imagination
17:38 If you're an individual, you can start by building your 'knowledge' or your passion and 'attitude'
17:47 You can start anywhere
17:51 Everyone has the key to their innovation engine, but it's up to them to turn (use) it
Thanks. Very usefull
Thank u so much😍❤️
🎉
Thank you for this!
@@chan.angeles25 You're welcome 😀
Good luck 🌠
One of the best TED Talk, I never believed that knowledge will be important for imagination and creativity, but when I started Creativity, I realised how important the knowledge is in creativity.
she is a brilliant speaker. i was drawn in from start to finish
This woman is fantastic - I learned a lot from this talk and she is very inspirational - bravo.
A talk that deserves to be watched time and again. Quite a lot of nuggets on creativity and innovation filled into under 20 minutes.
I agree👍💯
I liked it! It increased my knowledge, boost my imagination, slightly vary my attitude, made that I see different my habitat, made me discover resources, made appreciate my culture, and i colud see all toghether embracing me and I embracing all toghether!
Tina's energy is engagingly infectious ... great insights .. am in the Crash Course in Creativity and very grateful to Tina/Stanford as I need to clean my "rust" and reclaim my creativity !
This is an amazing talk! Really gives you a lot of food for thought.
Most important thing is it: everyone has the key to the innovation engine. It is up to them to turn it!
So good final!
Yes great
What I love about her Innovation Engine is that the components are accessible to all of us, she's just created a new frame about how they operate together. As a producer, I appreciated the nod to the power of a film or video soundtrack to evoke emotion. Great talk!
Tina, that was absolutely fascinating. Thank you for the brilliant visual mobius!
I really love this woman. She's amazing.
Truly thoughtful and creative the idea she presented. I'm going to try this out at work and see how it goes. Thanks to Tina for sharing her wonderful knowledge with the world.
wow...very good!
Thanks Tina for reminding us to think with childlike wonder, curiosity, and playfulness when tapping into our creativity. Your concepts are profound in their simplicity. I'm so grateful to be participating in this course with everyone!
How did it go
i was just looking at her books on amazon and thinking whether i should buy one ... after listening to this presentation i'll most certainly do that! She is amazing :)
Me too
Insightful and inspiring talk. There is a very good reason for the endless uniform rows of desks in schools and cubicles in offices -- students and workers are expected to step in line and to produce the same pre-determined outcomes/results as there peers, nothing more, nothing less. Creativity is not part of the contract, it is disruptive, therefore not allowed. The plain and uniform environment are designed to enforce the expected results and behaviors. Creativity is an unapproved activity.
Fantastic presentation with very useful guidance for designing creativity. Making reference to internal and external features of the creative engine. Thank you for sharing.
Tina Seelig you are amazing! I`m taking an innovation class and we watch a lot of your videos. Thanks from Chile!
This talk is very important when you are confused about creativity. Great work TINA SEELIG.
Most important Tedx to date. This was awesome.
increíble la dinámica y la introducción a la meter la llave de la creatividad en cada uno. Gracias,
Thank you for putting into perspective the process of creativity. Some of the steps we may have already taken instinctively, however it is of great value to understand what is involved and what tools are available to achieve our goal
Bruh 9 year ago how’s life is going on man ❤️
Very smart talk! Inspiring and knowledgeable! Thank you!
Thank you Tina. Wonderful. Unlocked a few doors for me. Am attending your crash course on creativity. Cheers from India.
Very inspirational and informative talk, Tina! Thank you!

One of my favorite courses was design thinking and prototyping :) d school at stanford is so innovative ❤️
Your visual representation of the creativity process is terrific. Now, we need to introduce this into our K-12 classrooms, but first we will need to introduce this into our teacher education programs.
Excellent - very creative way of conveying this message. Thank you!
one of the few actually helpful TED talks
FANTASTIC! Talk. Unlocking creativity is essential at workplace and at home and can be easily done via games.
EXTRAORDINARIO!! ......... muchas gracias .......... LO MEJOR: la cinta de moebius ..... FELICITACIONES a los responsables ........ saludos desde el peru
She is wonderful!
I like the 5+5= illustration which illustrates how linear our thinking gets when we can't get outside of thinking there is but one right solution to problems.
great ideas! so obvious on the one hand, but so locked in the way we could use them on the other.
If you listen closely there are voices talking in the back..it's faint but I can't help but focus on it, I think I heard.."she..stage right.." Sometimes it sounds creepy because I don't know what the voices are saying..
+Jean Yang probably just the lighting or sound technicians
+Hass_tafari No, i hear it too, a lot. so distracting.. sounds kind of like mechanical speech like a translator.
My thought was subliminal messaging. That is why I scrolled down here.

thought I was the only one haha
It is a delight to watch you and your way of presentation full of enthusiasm. Gr8 CREATIVITY and an apt title of INNOVATION ENGINE.
Great way to explain creativity! Loved it!
This video was going along quite well and I was engaged, then at 10:04 she puts up an image of an incomplete puzzle complete with the 123RF watermark in the middle. This is a remarkable gaffe. TEDx events are vetted ahead of time and it got past them as well.
I noticed this as well
Great video! I am loss for words here. Looking forward to read the book.
Love this talk - Thank you.
THANK YOU TINA !! Many important and validated points brought up, well-explained, to the point and a prime example of all aspects to be included in a subject. Great point about the creative talent pool not being utilized. Unfortunately, organizations wouldn't know where to look if it crawled up their $@$&
P
Enjoyed the speaker's book - this video is an excellent companion. Great ideas!
1:38 That formula positioning is awesomely the infinite nine pattern. I really wish everybody could see the "creative series" of Ted Talks. This CREATIVE series would be a wonderful lesson to people young and old everywhere around the globe. Educating people on how to increase their imagination should be looked upon as a very necessary course, a super awesome tool to be "reminded" to each person. No person ever can say creativity is NO fun. Everyone loves to create.
Thank you! Very inspiring
I use her 1 hour lecture in my course and it is just the best !
Innovation Engine is wonderful Tina. Excellent and Great and thanks for sharing it.
perfect!!! will be sharing this often.
13:47 this is absolutely true....! Superb! Every Indian need to hear this!
Just Lovely and Amazing Mr. Seeling work! :)
Wow! Very valueable and useful information, loved it!
Absolutely - right on the game!
Amazing video! This is simply too good.
I'm a bit late to the party (2018) but what a very inspiring, motivational talk. Thank you!
This is a life changing presentation
wow, this is such an amazing talk
wow,I am full of passion & confident to start my creativity career
I KNOW I can do it , I can start anywhere.
I think it is more about the culture, resources and habitat. Company culture is critically vital for cultivating creativity and innovation. It is not "the war for talent". It is about "the peace for cultivating talent"!!!
I have really loved the TED. I think that all of your ideas are great and usefull!
Spot on!!!! However, some people are always going to be better at this than others...
I'm old too, one of the reasons I'm here! I want to un-learn some things that are obstacles to my creativity. Best of luck to you!
could you tell me what are those?
¡Qué video tan más padre! Me declaro fan de Tina Seelig ñ_ñ
Superb content, excellent talk!!!😁😁😁😁😁
It is one of our introduction lessons' best video in university
Thank you so much Tina for this fabulous talk I would love to hear more of your talks.
I liked this a lot.
i love it !!!!!! where i come from Mexico, we have lots of culture and beautiful environment, habitad, but the thing is people some times just focus in bad things....just have to take a look on the great things we have :)
Using the Mobius strip to depict the Innovation Engine is brilliant.
Thank you! good start.
Great Speech.. I love her great book "What I wish I knew when I was 20" .. I gave copies of it to my interns :)
Kindly tell what is that book about
Thanks for sharing these great videos and podcasts from the Stanford Entrepreneurship Corner. Today I watched your latest TED talk (for the second time) on creativity and a talk by Prof. Bob Sutton "What Great Leaders Do." I get so much inspiration from your center at Stanford! Thanks for all your hard work and for all these great resources!
Thank You Young lady!! Delightful.
Nice inspiration for the intro to the course. I knew it was a good decision!
In your talk you made me realize just how innovative poor people are.
Cheers Tina
Alan
Oh and Tina do you have a direct link for your talk in TEDx?
Excellent talk!
Wow amazing
Thank you very much for exposing all of all
Thank you for this!
Wonderful and informative presentation.
The Lone Comic TM
Such a powerful talk
Brillante. Gracias!
Gold. A golden ticket to this video
Talking the message of the logo -- this is going to be great.
Because I am old, deaf and slow of wit I had difficulty in understanding many parts of this obviously accomplished presentation; also, I suspect that idiomatic and cultural differences may have contributed to my difficulty. No doubt a second listening will resolve my problems. I am looking forward to the 'Crash course on Creativity'.
fantastic talk... I must now meditade about these words for at leat an hour \o/
This woman is life changing at least to me
listening to the voice of reasoning...it is greater
Wow! The slides are wonderful! Thank you, Tina!
great video!! just notice that 5 +5= 10 only on a 10 numeric basis ;)
I am glad to be chilean and know Antofagasta, and I understand why the man said that natural enviorment is bad, just go south by our long geography and you will see...
It´s true that we really need local creativity to solve our problems with our resources, no one else will do it
Puedo conseguir el video con subtitulos en español
It's the camera crew giving directives, I think! I had to try my best to tune it out.
Could any one help to clarify about Resource and Culture's role in creativity? I didn't catch the point yet.
THX
wonderful video, thank you very much.
I guess the second image in the Chindogu series (shoes and dust pan) inspired 'plogging'.
Excellent!
2:28 I would answer
All numbers a and b such that
a+b=10
to generate such numbers, plug in any number for b and solve for a in the equation
a=10-b
the music at last i luv it
amazing talk!
Beautifully taught
Me encantó la esencia de tú exposición. Sólo te agradecería que fuera un poco más lenta, para quienes no manejamos el inglés. De igual manera tomé muchas ideas y te doy las gracias. Las aplicare en mis tetapias...
Muy bueno! A usar la grandiosa llave de la creatividad!
Great! Congratulations!
Brilliant ✨
