Why Creative Commons?

Societies that devote more energy to the exploitation of existing knowledge and information or to securing intellectual property rights than to the framework conditions that favor the production of new knowledge are in a downward economic, scientific, political, cultural and social trend.

Google’s Innovative Mindset

Google proved that you could systematize innovation and create an environment where you could ask why things are the way they are, and wonder if they can be done in a different way - where you look outside your own field for an idea.

Early on we put in a system of mechanisms for innovating, the so-called 70/20/10 system. This was a principle that everyone should spend 70% of their time on their core job, 20% as part of another team, and 10% on something blue sky.

The critical issue is to build the habits of mind, from the executive suite to the shop floor, that encourage an innovative mindset,
living in a world of continuous questioning and re-learning.
