I use this blog to gather information and thoughts about invention and innovation, the subjects I've been teaching at Stanford University Continuing Studies Program since 2005.
The current course is Principles of Invention and Innovation (Summer '17).
Our book "Scalable Innovation" is now available on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Scalable-Innovation-Inventors-Entrepreneurs-Professionals/dp/1466590971/

Scott Kriens, Chairman of the Board of Juniper Networks, talks briefly about the importance of finding the right problem to work on:
"If you have a totally different problem to solve, ... and you are the first one who tries solving it, you have an opportunity to be equally smart, but start working on it [the problem] first."
