Subject: [Speaker Series] The Invention Cycle - 20th of July



*“Those who can imagine anything can create the impossible.” -- Alan Turing*
>

Bringing fresh ideas to life and ultimately to market is not a well charted
course. In July, our guest Tina Seelig <https://about.me/tinaseelig> will
share her model, The Invention Cycle, that taps into our innate
capabilities of imagination and creativity to help us innovate better.

We’ll learn and gain understanding of:

- Crisp definitions for imagination, creativity, innovation, and
entrepreneurship

- Clear next steps for progressing from the seed of an idea through
implementation

...and we’ll be joined by a group of mozillians* who recently undertook a
more in-depth training in this frameworks and have been thinking about how
to applying it to their work and Mozilla. They will share their thinking
and perspective as well.
