Everything Worth Doing Starts With A Good Idea.

But where do the good ideas get their start? How are they inspired? What does it take to know a good idea from a not-so-good idea. And most important of all, what does it take to grow a good idea into a BIG idea? These are questions that a government focused on change for the better must have the answers for. And following on the heels of that answer, the answer as to what it takes to bring a big idea into a real force for change.

Somewhere in the basement of the White House is a small room. A storage space perhaps. Or a long forgotten office or supply room. The purpose of this site is to turn that site into the White House Office of Creative Affairs. A desk. A chair. A phone. And most important of all, a computer linked to the most creative minds of our time.

From Architects to Zoologists, the thought leaders and innovators who are willing to serve at the will of the President need a means to become a part of the campaign for Change in America. This is their on-ramp to involvement by contributing their time and their genius to generate the millions of solutions needed to effect the Administration’s sacred promise to the American people.

But right now, the White House Office of Creative Affairs is just an idea. What will it take to make it a reality? Your best; your biggest ideas. Right here. Right now.

  1. Harry, thank you for creating this place to capture and evolve ideas! While I was slogging through all the contributions on the change.gov health care comment page, and now, starting on the economy comment page, I was hoping that the Obama team would do exactly what your proposing with your excellent start. Again, thanks.

  2. So where do we start?

  3. Teresa,

    Please step over to http://thinkhardamerica.wordpress.com and pick a topic. Pull friends into the pool to create solutions that can migrate these ideas into businesses. Think until your head hurts or give flight to the first thing that crosses your mind. There is no right way to build something from nothing. So get busy.
