Posted on November 18, 2011 by Scott Noppe-Brandon

Today marks the launch of Harvard University’s Innovation Lab, or i-lab, in Boston. In the press release, Harvard President Drew Faust describes it as “a bridge between imagination and implementation,” evoking Lincoln Center Institute (LCI’s) concept of the ICI Continuum (Imagination –> Creativity –> Innovation). So what does this new institution, another example of higher [...]

Posted on March 23, 2011 by Linda Miles

I noticed recently that a number of readers had arrived at the Imagination Now site hoping to learn more about the imagination-creativity-innovation continuum, something that Scott Noppe-Brandon speaks about often and something that comes up frequently as a topic of discussion during the Imagination Conversations happening around the country. To help satisfy that curiosity, here [...]

Imagination, Creativity, and Innovation Find a Home in Louisiana

Posted on October 6, 2010 by Scott Noppe-Brandon

On July 9, I wrote about the Imagination, Creativity and Innovation (ICI) Summer Institute, a professional development event for Louisiana teachers that took place in June and was hosted by the Louisiana Office of Cultural Development/Division of the Arts. The state has now announced, to my delight, that it will pilot its ICI Initiative—“developed to [...]

CEOs in the Market for Creativity

Posted on September 8, 2010 by Scott Noppe-Brandon

I’ve written on many occasions about the need for imagination, creativity, and innovation (ICI) in business, even going so far as to call the first item on that list America’s “greatest domestic renewable resource” (in the book, Imagination First, co-authored with Eric Liu, page 26). But don’t take my word for it: according to IBM’s [...]

Arts in Education in Steel City

Posted on August 4, 2010 by Scott Noppe-Brandon

The title of a recent article by Kellie B. Gormly in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review is also one of our guiding principles here at Lincoln Center Institute: “The arts ignite children’s creativity, innovation, and imagination.” Eric Liu and I argue in Imagination First that the order of these concepts is: imagination → creativity → innovation. In this [...]

Notes from an Imagination Advocate, Part Two

Posted on March 30, 2010 by Scott Noppe-Brandon

It’s always pleasing for an author who has written about an idea to see that idea reappear spontaneously in public discussions. I’ve experienced this pleasure with the “ICI Continuum,” a concept that Eric Liu and I include in Imagination First and that refers to this relationship: “Imagination -> Creativity (imagination applied) -> Innovation (novel creativity)” [...]

Imaginative Justice

Posted on March 16, 2010 by Scott Noppe-Brandon

One of my goals in writing for this blog is to convince readers that imagination is not some mysterious gift that only artists and a few other “special” individuals possess. In fact, we all have it, and it plays a role in every field and profession. My past entries have shown imagination at work in [...]
