Nine Lessons Learned about Creativity at Google

HKUST really fully utilized their email system. They used to notify, practically everything through email which I feel it was really cool!

Well, I wanted to keep this for my future reference easier, then I decided to placed in this blog, which was to serve to keep me ‘on line’ or ‘in track’ from the beginning of the creation of the blog.

This e-seminar series were sent to all students in UST, not sure how many of the students actually watch it. I feel this video is worth sharing.


The title of the seminar was Nine Lessons Learned about Creativity at Google by Marissa Mayer which is Vice President of Search Products and User Experience at Google. It was presented at 17th May 2006 around 4 years ago, but the video was worth sharing.


“How did Google start without knowing how it can make money? What cultivates creativity & innovation in Google? How is creativity important to the success of the corporation? Do creative ideas equal instant perfection?

Let us hear from Marissa Mayer, VP of Search Products and User Experience at Google, on the top nine lessons learned about fostering creative ideas and innovation based on her experience developing highly successful Web applications.”

Below is the link to the 9 videos.

1.       Ideas come from everywhere.
2.       Give ideas credit, not credit for ideas.
3.       Work with smart people.
4.       License to pursue dreams.
5.       Learning from mistakes.
6.       Data is apolitical.
7.       Creativity loves constraint.
8.       Bank users, not money.
9.       Don’t kill project, morph them.
10.   Surviving the bubble.
