“Everyone likes creativity because everyone believes they are, or were, or can be creative. And they are right. The truth is that the best scientists, entrepreneurs, engineers, soldiers, CEOs, sports coaches, hockey players, and World of Warcraft players are all creative. The scaffolding of Design Thinking, that collection of behaviors, is the heart and soul of creativity.” Bruce Nussbaum  Professor of Innovation and Design at Parsons The New School of Design  April 6, 2011.
