Founder of The Brainzooming Group, Mike Brown has been at the forefront of leading culture change and innovative strategies at the Fortune 500 level. Recognized as one of the top innovation bloggers on the web, he shares his ideas on creativity, innovation, and the transformative power of diverse thinking with hundreds of thousands of global readers annually. While the traditional definition of "community" revolves around common location, ideas with core impact come less from what's in common, than what's different. And as more knowledge shifts to the cloud, the concept and importance of location takes on radically new dimensions. This TEDxWyandotte talk explores how creating a porous community that readily cultivates diverse thinking is vital to a truly enriched community.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
