Is "A healthy disrespect for the impossible" combined with the virtues of constraints the key to creativity, as espoused by Marissa Meyer from Google in a recent discussion at the World Economic Forum in Davos? Or would you side with Ideo's Tim Brown, who suggested that creativity is spurred by approaching problems with a beginner's mindset, and by exploring ideas through the use of rapid prototyping?
