The fact that you, I, or anyone in the new-media business may be able to

come up with a brilliant idea in seconds does not, however, mean that

we should be giving such ideas away. Cost vs value anyone?


I can't remember who said this, but it's worth saying again: "Big ideas

are so hard to recognize, so fragile, so easy to kill. Don't forget that,

all of you who don't have them."


On the 'what is creativity?' point as raised by Tim...well, I can't

see any excuse for anyone's *not* being creative, whether they're a planner,

buyer, carpet weaver or personnel director (in no particular order).

I assume that Tim's not saying that HHCL's work on Tango is lacking

in creativity: from his outline I'd say it's a model of same.


'Creative' isn't what, it's how.
