TED Talk Tuesday #44 – OK Go! How to find a wonderful idea

Watching TED Talks is a popular pastime at CN&CO. We visit TED.com regularly to clear our heads, have a laugh or get inspired. TED Talks open our minds, spark new ways of thinking and can lead to some very interesting conversations. Each week we pick a favourite and publish it on a Tuesday, because we like how “TED Talk Tuesday” sounds. This week’s talk was selected by CN&CO chief señor Carel Nolte. It’s a talk by Damian Kulash, lead singer and director of OK Go (a “wildly creative music- and videomakers) takes us inside the band’s creative process, showing us how to look for wonder and surprise.

I loved watching this talk earlier in the year when in Vancouver at the TED conference. I had not heard of the band but was taken away by its extraordinary music videos.

And then learning more about creativity, about innovation and using the concept of play – I was blown away. I hope you are too!

Carel is an investor in people and businesses, believing that 1+1 = (at least) 22. Working with a few basic concepts – best encapsulated in his believe that unless we are dead, anything is possible – Carel aims to build long-term sustainable value with like-minded individuals and companies, while having (a lot of!) fun.
