Giovanni Corazza, a full-time professor at the Alma Mater Studiorum at the University of Bologna, provides some useful and insightful tips on not just how to think creatively, but how to think differently from the herds. The speech was delivered in Italian, but fortunately for us English speakers, Professor Corazza speaks in fluent English throughout.

I love this talk and this search for where good ideas come from. It is so well presented and engrossing and it asks such wonderful questions such as were 17th century coffee houses a place where ideas could have sex, and did coffee itself really cause the ‘flowering of innovation’ that resulted in great thinkers such as Darwin.

Patrick FitzGerald, Managing Director of DreamIt Ventures, provides a superb introduction to writing a top quality business plan in this Wharton School Entrepreneurship Workshop. Well worth watching if you are working on a business plan and have little or no prior experience.

A highly motivational speech that is about way more than just putting a business plan together. So many people focus on success and money, so it is refreshing to hear someone who takes things to a whole new level with such passion and verve. If you are at the start of your business journey then this video is well worth watching.
