Creativity and innovation are among the most overused buzzwords in circulation today.  But let’s face it: some people truly are more creative and able to innovate. Why? Alexa Clay, coauthor of The Misfit Economy, asserts that we can learn a lot about creativity from observing drug runners, computer hackers, con artists, Amish entrepreneurs and other outsiders and outcasts. In Inventology, Pagan Kennedy explores some characteristics of the highly inventive and outlines four main paths to discovery. Do you have what it takes to be creative? Find out and learn some tricks of the trade in this creative and innovative session moderated by BBF Fellow and digital reporter at WBUR, Zeninjor Enwemeka.
