Cyprus Dream
Thank Goodness!
• Jobs of today
• Will probably have
nothing to do with
jobs in the next
decade
• In 20 years…

University of Phoenix Research: kids must enhance their cross
cultural competencies and their social intelligence
BUT
Skills for a Lifetime
• Open Mindness
• Critical Thinking
• Thinking outside the
box
• Creativity
• Self Confidence

• Curiosity
• …
INNOVATION
Ingredients
• Innovation Planet
– We made the buttons on the screen look so good
you’ll want to lick them
– Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a
follower
• Talent in Team
– They have to be really smart. But the real issue for me
is, Are they going to fall in love with Apple?
• Perseverance
– We went to Hewlett-Packard, and they said, ‘Hey, we
don’t need you. You haven’t got through college yet
Steve Jobs
Chairman, Apple
CREATIVITY= INNOVATION?
Creativity is thinking the big idea.
Innovation is implementing the idea …
by converting the idea into a profitable business.
Characteristics
• Searching for new opportunities with passion
• Go after opportunities with immense
discipline
• Go after only the best opportunities
• Focus on implementation
• Team
Development of Vital Skills
• Analysis & Problem Solving Ability
• Teamwork
• Perseverance
• Responsibility
• Calculated Risk
• Learning from Failure
How?
Failure is an ally!
CREATIVITY & INNOVATION
7 Habits
1. Persistence
• Its not about the idea
• Faith
• Hard work
• Vision
• Laser Focus
Invention / Innovation is 1%
inspiration,
and 99% perspiration
2. Get over it!
• “think outside the box”
• Break the box sitting in
your brain
• Help your kids, friends,
… break their box!
3. Take a Risk, Make mistakes
• Mistakes are an experiment
• Failed, so What?
• Its Knowledge
I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000
ways that won’t work
4. Idea in the Shower Phenomenon
• Escape
• Be calm. Calm invites
acceptance in tapping
into our creativity
• Find your own creativity
zone!
5. Put It on paper!
• Note it! Paint it!
• Discover your own
method to tap into
the creative
process
6. Discover the motives
• Ideas come from ideas
• Edison was not the first
to discover the lamp
• He was the first to make
them last longer
Expose yourself to
new ideas, search for
motives, see how you
can combine ideas to
enhance an existing
solution
7. Curiosity
• Be Curious!
• Inquisitive
• Look for alternative
• Practice in seeing things differently
• Ask a lot of questions
• Challenge the norm or existing way
BE
THE
CHANGE.
BE
CRAZY.
