From where do you get the best ideas and how do you make your ideas a reality? Your potential clients and investors, do they understand your idea? Is having an idea and being creative the same thing? How do you increase your creativity?

We all have ideas. Ideas about how to get rich. Ideas about how to be popular. Ideas about how to generate ideas. Ideas for new or improved products and services. But how do we make our ideas a reality? What are the obstacles down the road? How do we foster creativity and when is creativity a burden? Which professions and businesses are considered as creative?

The answer, or at least a very good idea, about how to increase creativity and generate ideas will be presented by Patrik Österblad from The Pitch Factory.

About Patrik

"I have been in the financial industry for 30 years whereof the last 20 years as a Private Banker in Luxembourg. You might think you're not allowed to be to creative in a bank. Which is true, to some extent, due to regulations and - that is not the way we do things around here - mentality. Not being able to change structures within a workingplace with the help of good ideas is frustrating."

"When I lost my job in July last year I decided to realize an idea that's been nesting during several years: Working with ideas and creativity. To bring my ideas about ideas to others. "That is not the way we do things around here" is the mantra I've heard all my life. That is a true idea killer and I guess we have all had ideas being turned down to pop up as invented by someone else later on. So if you're interested in my ideas about how to be creative and generate ideas and, not the least, how to make people listen to your ideas I'm looking forward to see you."
