Where Good Ideas Come From
The Seven Patterns of Innovation
Editorial Review
Where Good Ideas Come From is about the space of innovation. Some environments squelch new ideas; some environments seem to breed them effortlessly. Our thought shapes the spaces we inhabit, and our spaces return the favor. We argue that a series of shared properties and patterns recur again and again in unusually fertile environments. We have distilled them down into seven patterns. The more we embrace these patterns, the better we will be at tapping our extraordinary capacity for innovative thinking.
