		<description><![CDATA[Over the past year (much longer, actually), we’ve seen the idea of creativity being the key to business success in the world and the world as it is evolving. We’ve seen new phrases pop up like “the creative economy” or &#8220;tell your story.&#8221; When we talk about creativity, we inevitably talk about art. Not all [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two related post subjects caught my attention last week and I’m trying to distill them here. The subjects are ideas (coming up with them) and mind-mapping.

A news story, a blog post or a Facebook page has comment tools or “like” tools and the original item acts as an initiator to a conversation. I’ve noticed a [...]]]></description>
