As coisas que você sabe são realmente as mais perigosas, porque a partir do momento que você as sabe, você pára de se questionar a respeito.

1. Experimentation is not failure. Preventing Pavlovian risk adversity from deprecating internal innovation is a start, but every experiment is worth something.
2. Promote collaboration, not exaltation. Creativity does not occur in hermetic bubbles or unchallenged by peers.
3. Higher vision and minor details are equally important. Don’t assume creatives are incapable of contributing at both altitudes.
4. Ambiguity is not the same as complexity. Clear expectations, goals, and deliverables never hurt the creative process, nor impeded independence and autonomy.
5. Fuck you, pay me.
6. Don’t confuse the arbitrary insertion of chaos and anarchy with a environment that promotes creative freedom. Spend less time trying to “mix it up” and more time allowing good ideas room to grow.
7. Instead of wasting resources to make creatives FEEL important, let them BECOME important to your organization instead.

It takes more time and energy trying to go around problems that it does trying to solve them.
Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.

Above all, designers need to be nimble. We need to improvise and adjust as we go along. If our process comprises an assortment of exercises and techniques, we can replace parts as they become antiquated or misaligned with a particular project without needing to overhaul everything. A flexible process, therefore, makes it easier to adapt to new technologies and industries. No more designing for mobile, designing for higher education, designing for luxury, and so on. At the end of the day, it’s all design. It’s all problem solving.
Creativity is just connecting things

…When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things. Steve Jobs, Wired, February, 1995

Ideas are easy. Implementation is hard. -Guy Kawasaki
Staying curious and open is what makes growth
possible, and it requires practice to maintain that mindset. To keep learning, we have to avoid the temptation to slide into narrow, safe views of what we do.

“It was very easy to be different, but very difficult to be better.” Jonathan Ive, Apple Designer
The important feature that design brings is this bridge between the science and the arts. And I don’t think many people understand the power of design to put these two things together.

It doesn’t occur to them that everything is design – every building, everything they touch in the world is designed. The world around us is something that somebody has control over and, perhaps, they could have control over.
Legendary British industrial designer and interaction design pioneer Bill Moggridge, who designed the first laptop and who passed away last year, talks to Debbie Millman about innovation, education, human-centered design, and the future of interaction.
Moggridge was remembered earlier this week at a memorial service in New York City.
