The Iconoclastic Mind: The Recombinant Process of Creativity and Innovation

Iconoclastic momentum: the creative, innovative, and destructive force necessary to push aside accepted dogma and in-the-box thinking to develop novel solutions in a world where sufficiency reigns.

Solutions developed from an iconoclastic momentum require multiple perspectives and the discovery of why a problem exists, the ability to perceive a world in which the problem does not exist, and how this is achieved.

Iconoclastic momentum acknowledges the fact that the presentation of the problem may be the reason innovative solutions are not found; that predictable destinies are obstacles, and irrationality directs and evolves the world; why a lack of knowledge can be an important contributor to the innovative process; and why language in the form of metaphor is as important as scientific or engineering skills.

The discussion presented within will challenge those who champion traditional perspectives to understand that gain in a time of change comes at the expense of entrenched beliefs, dogma, and status quo; that innovative gain (i.e., market changers) is not just disruptive, it is destructive, provoking discontinuity and turmoil in the market as it must … and that is a good thing.
