Hope & Innovation

Psychologist Jose Antonio Rosa talks about the role of hope in innovation and the lessons he learned about innovation from 'the other 4 billion' (the bottom of the pyramid).

Managing the right balance of hope is important to spur innovation. You need enough hope to create 'healthy delusion' to be creative and try new thinks of which others say it cannot be done. Too much hope creates too much delusion and ends up often in criminal behavior.

Furthermore, he observes the obvious that no one can innovate on his own (see 'where could ideas come from'), but in communication and in community.
