In this episode, Charleston Sin shares his views on how we can be more innovative.

Innovation must involve both the mind and the hand. In other words, thinking and action.

It is also imperative that we develop computational thinking – which is a thinking process that breaks a problem into small steps before solving it in a systematic way.

Charleston informs us about the “App Inventor”, which is an easy application for anyone to develop apps for Android and IOS.

Additionally, he tells us about the MIT innovation process -- which is a detailed 24-step framework. That said, the 2 steps that are critical for any innovation are:  (i) Defining the persona for the innovation, and (ii) Conducting primary market research.

Given that most of us would probably have a 60-year career, it is important that we learn how to learn.

As most of us have a finite capacity to learn, one important step for us to learn how to learn is to empty ourselves for the new things that we want to learn.
