The Connection Between Creativity and Play

As I was preparing my lecture on new product development, innovation, and creativity, I checked out IDEO's website to see examples of the company's latest work. Anyone who is interested in creatively solving problems using principles of design and organization, combined with the social sciences should check out IDEO for future career possibilities - or inspiration.

From the website, I linked to Ted.com, which I've now added to my Delicious bookmarks . I've watched half of this talk by Tim Brown, one of the IDEO guys, talking about the connection between creativity and play. Check out the wooden huts in which Pixar's creatives work!

"Anyone who is interested in creatively solving problems using principles of design and organization, combined with the social sciences..." Is this some sort of not-so-subtle hint?
