“It is better to create than to learn. Creating is the essence of life.” – Julius CaesarWhen we’re young, we learn by doing, by making things. Unfortunately, this “making stuff” mindset is largely stamped out by high school in the name of efficiency and classroom control. A contributing factor is the class distinction attached to “making” instead of “thinking.” Making, e.g. building or manufacturing, are considered lower-class occupations or blue-collar jobs. In this episode, Patrick K. Sullivan and Catherine Cruz discuss how “making” or getting one’s hands dirty, is critical to creating the conditions for innovation. They cover activities like ideation or prototyping, and a range of multidimensional thinking practices like doodling, constructing with paper or cardboard, up to 3D-printing of materials – keys to an innovation mindset.Oceanit practices ‘Intellectual Anarchy’ – empowering teams to break down traditional silos, transcend disciplines, and cross-pollinate ideas and expertise.
