    Design and Collaboration

    IDEO founder David Kelley was profiled on "60 Minutes" last night. His interview is well worth your time. Here's one of his best quotes-- about collaborating with people from all discplines and backgrounds:

    "The big thing about design thinking is it allows people to build on the ideas of others. Instead of just having that one thread, you think about it, I come up with an idea, and then somebody from somewhere else says, "Oh that makes me think we should do this," and then we could do that. And then you get to a place that you just can't get to in one mind."
