TEDxKC - Reflections from an Innovative Kansas City Event

The author attended the TEDxKC event and was impressed by the innovative thinking and performances, particularly highlighting the opening act by Quixotic Fusion. The role of creativity in business success was discussed but the author wonders if CEOs truly believe in it. Jane McGonigal of the Institute for the Future suggested that spending 21 billion hours weekly in online gaming could solve world problems, but the author questions what would happen if we spent that time praying instead. The author also emphasizes the importance of diversity at live events, noting that only one of the five presenters at TEDxKC was not a white male. The author concludes by encouraging readers to attach significance to the ordinary in order to be strategic.
