<H4>Presented by the Chang Institute for Entrepreneurship and Discovery Foundation, in collaboration with Coast Capital Savings Venture Connection at SFU.</H4>
 
The traditional understanding of creativity is that it is unstructured and doesn’t follow rules or patterns. We’re often taught we need to think “outside the box” to be truly original and innovative. Or we should start with a problem and then “brainstorm” ideas without restraint until we find a solution. 
The problem is you’re forced to wait for inspiration, for the muse to descend, or some unusual spark of brilliance before you can create something. Leaving many to give up and simply copy an idea and sell at a lower price. 
No idea? No problem. In this IdeaStorm, we focus on ideating for elderly care solutions. However, the ideation method and skills learned can be applied to any problem. We rethink what it means to innovate and show you a method for ideation with structure. Learn how to create new and exciting things—or conceive new and exciting ideas—on demand! Walk away with the tools needed to create innovation.
 
Innovation without Drama. Purposeful. Systematic. Creative.

For thousands of years, innovators have used five simple patterns in their inventions, usually without knowing it, and these patterns are now embedded into the products and services you see around you today. Consider these patterns the DNA of a product or service. These have now been codified into a systematic creativity method that harnesses these five thinking patterns that mankind has used for thousands of years, and equips you to apply them to anything you want to innovate.
