How Do We Democratize Innovation? Hitendra Patel at TEDxSomerville

GUEST POST from Dr. Hitendra Patel

When it comes to big breakthrough ideas, Hitendra Patel doesn’t believe in that one “Eureka” moment. He thinks that all of us have the potential to create new, great ideas and the capacity to make it reality one day. So if everyone has the potential to have great ideas, why aren’t we all becoming genius inventors? Hitendra is trying to figure out if some people can connect the dots faster because they have more dots to begin with – and how we can all get more.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://ted.com/tedx
