INTELLIGENT MEMORY & THE FLASH OF INSIGHT

Here's the link to an interesting & yet refreshing article from the 'strategy+business' newsletter, by William Duggan, a professor at Columbia Business School, where he teaches innovation, & the author of 'Strategic Intuition: The Creative Spark in Human Achievement'.

In a nut shell, that flash of insight - the AhA moment - needs both analysis & intuition.

The author's extrapolation of the four vital steps from military general von Clausewitz is fascinating: example from history, presence of mind, flash of insight & resolution.

So, my good friend Dilip is right: ''There is no learning [now read: creativity] without memory!''
