To understand where good ideas come from, we have to discard conventional metaphors which steers us towards certain concepts of idea creation. "Flash, Stroke, Epiphany, Eureka, Lightbulb" are rich vocabulary to describe moments of inspiration. However, these show that an idea is a single thing.
On contrary, ideas are a network. Innovation doesn't happen in an instant. We take ideas from people who we learn from or run into and from them into something new.

Ideas develop over time and even span on for decades. Some people already have good ideas but they are unable to fully think of it yet.
Ideas come from chaos, from discussions at conference tables, from sharing mistakes with others. Connecting ideas would lead to better ideas. Open innovative systems have marvellous, unplanned, unpredictable power that leads ideas to completely new directions that the creators would not have come up with. Chance favours the connective mind and good ideas would be created.
