CPSI 2010 Opening Recap
Back from Buffalo, New York after attending the 56th CPSI, also known as the world's oldest creativity conference.
Folks here pride themselves on the "How To" of the innovation. If you missed it, it was a very different kind of conference. Below is my brief recap of the opening session which I was one of the speakers.
The General Opening Session started with different twist. The Master of Creative Ceremony, Bill Olsen, CPF, did not say a word for the first 5 minutes. Yet it took him 2 seconds to engage everyone in the audience. A master of interactive facilitator, he paced and led the audience from zero to a 100% participation. His Z2P workshop teaches you how to do that.
Tony Baxter, the Imagineer from Disney, who designed many of the famous rides, took us down the memory lane and inspired the future imagineers with great slides and stories. Here is a giant who spent a few days with the CPSI-lians and the youth program. Amazing. When chatting with him, I felt the spirits of my heros talking: Walt Disney and Joseph Campbell.
Then, yours truly facilitated 350+ CPSI-lians to paint on water. People from 13 countries, all sorts of background, age group, knowledge banks and skill sets were able to come together on the same water level. The room was buzzing.
The participants became the artists themselves. The participants became the innovators who collaborated as a team: strategized the action plan, brainstormed for the title of the painting, and journaled what they learned. They actively engaged, played and learned. Many seasoned leaders commented positively on this proven learning model which yours truly designed and developed over the years. It's gratifying to watch the attendees "got it." Afterwards, the largest CPSI Suminagashi Exhibition was installed in the Hub. Truly a historical moment.
The staff members at CPSI were great to work with. Full of energy and positive attitude. Things got done in lightening speed. Many of the consultants are bringing the CPSI way back to their organizations. As Bill Olsen taught me to say: Bravo Zulu.
P.S. On the down side, my SD card mysteriously lost half of the photo from the conference. Spent 3 days on data recovery. Still hoping that some magic will take place to recover some of the historic moment. If any reader of this blog has any photo from CPSI, I would be very grateful to receive the copies, Amy@PaintingOnWater.com. Thanks.

Post-ACE Pre-CPSI
From May 6 to 8, I was at ACE, Atlanta Creativity Exchange.
Connecting with the like mind is one of the real pleasure of living. It was a privileged to share my experience of doing things different: Painting On Water for a change. Will blog more about that later.
It's like when you share a 10-course Chinese banquet. The food (ideas) kept coming. Between sampling and tasting, talking and eating, I chewed on the food for thoughts. The programs came in different shape and forms, all delivered by seasoned colleagues with a passion to share.
ACE did a great job of spreading the words to many new comers. Hearing their feedbacks was assuring that the field of creativity is growing and expanding.
How could it not be? It's about time. From Daniel Pink to Richard Florida, creativity has arrived. Innovation is her to stay. The collective conscience is that everyone has the gift of creativity, everyone can learn and be more innovative. Well, that is if you step up and take action.
When I over heard the exchange between the new comers, I could not help but smiling from inside out.
People used to think that creativity is for artists only. Here at ACE, they have break out sessions for education, business and life. It seems creativity is everywhere.
Everywhere is right. From your local school to world peace, next big product innovation to technology breakthrough, creativity is the essence of positive change.
For those who enjoyed ACE, I highly recommend that you step up to the next level and make plan to attend CPSI, June 20- 25. For those who missed it, here is your next opportunity to catch up. This one is specifically for Creative Problem Solving Institute.
By the way, help your young ones to have a taste of creativity and innovation that will last their life time. Bring the whole family to attend CPSI. They have an awesome Youth group (check the site for details). Then you can extend the family experience. Both Niagara Falls and Toronto, Canada are just a hop and skip away from Buffalo, New York, where the CPSI conference will be held.
Click here to get 10% off the registration fee. Enter the code CPSIBLG10. Deadline for this promotion is May 31. Do it now so that you can start making traveling plans.
Did I mention that Tony Baxter of Disney will be the opening keynote?
Would you like to see yours truly facilitating 350+ people Painting On Water at the opening session? See you there for a once in the lifetime experience.

How has CPSI helped me Create, Innovate and Lead Change?
Attend CPSI Conference to increase the odds for the Certainty of Probability and the Probability of Certainty.
Since 1989, I applied my version of creativity, and revived an ancient art of Suminagashi to become what is known today as Painting On Water™. For years, I applied various ideas and ways to paint on the water surface. Sometimes with great success, other times with frustrations to no end.
Eventually I figured out a shift of perception and attitude that led to my work these days. In 2006, I prepared a one-person show at the Illinois Institute of Technology, titled: The Probability of Certainty.
That summer, I attended my first CPSI in Chicago, after Gregg Fraley told me about CPSI numerous time. By then, I already had made my contribution of creativity in the engineering research and in the art field. However, I still took the basic "Springboard" offered by CPSI.
"Why? Was that a waste of time?" some asked.
First of all, the program gave me the vocabulary and the language to communicate with other innovators. It's like knowing calculus when speaking to the physicists. Sharing a common language expedites the speed of communication.
And, it is also about the attitude. A waste of time is when you think you knew it all and did it all. Innovation and positive change happen when you have an open mind. Ready to see the uniqueness among the common. Prepare to catch what standout in a most familiar setting.
That's when you might get that precious light bulb moment. The best way to increase your odds is to have the sense of certainty and probability, simultaneously.
CPSI is known to be the oldest creativity conference on earth with new comers all the time. It draws people there year after year. Its success, I believe, is that it offers both the new and the old, the proven traditional way as well as the cutting edge way of thinking, doing, playing and being.
What CPSI helped me is that I can be a practitioner and a leader, a student and a teacher, all at the same gathering.
I learned much from CPSI. It will be an honor to share three more topics at this upcoming conference: a pre-conference program, an ice breaker at the general opening and a break out session.
If you would like to increase your odds for the Certainty of Probability or the Probability of Certainty for innovation, please come join the rest of us.
Reserve your space. Sign up now.

Old and New
Right in the middle of Shanghai city, here is an ancient temple stood among the modern high rises. Glad to see the contrast and that here is a sense of history. Much like the churches in Manhattan, the temple is visited by many.

Tea in China
The place is known as "Dragon Well" that produced green tea. Unlike the red tea that typical Chinese restaurants served in USA, the leaves are neither formated nor roasted. The color of the tea is yellowish and pale green, with a fresh taste.
The leaves are the sprout of the new leaves on the bushes, to be picked by hand in the Spring time.

Silk Tour
The grand tour of the silk shop includes the process from the cocoon of the silk worm to the extraction of the silk thread. Just can't imagine how my ancestor eve envisioned such an innovation. Can you?
The silk thread is so fine that they had to combine 8 lines of cocoon to form one silk thread. Perhaps it is for the number of eight which represents the symbol of infinity in side view. After all, the Chinese pride the silk to last forever. The tour guide demonstrates the way to tell the real silk apart from the "Fake" or "Pseudo
polyester Silk" by lighting the fabric. The burnt real silk smells like burnt hair. The flame stopped after a second or so. Whileas the fake silk lite up and smelt like burnt plastic, highly inflammable.
Why is real silk so costly? The process is done by much trained human skills: from selecting the good cocoon, reserving the twin cocoons for the mega long threads, to drawing out the thread. Every step requires hands and eyes coordination.
Sorry, I am not able to verify the number of cocoons took to manufacture a silk scarf or a tie. My questions were like the silk thread, kept going and going . . .

Creative Problem Solving: Thousand Hand Guan Yin
Creative Problem Solving is a system of tools and techniques to make the Impossible Possible. This video fits in the umbrella of Making the Impossible Possible. Let me explain.
I like to share this because I was moved to tears by the shear beauty and possibility. Below is an excerpt sent to me from my dear friend Carolyn, who is an audiology. Few people know of my invisible hearing disability since a young child. More on this some other time.
However, there is always CPS, Creative Problem Solving technique to overcome challenges. I will do a pre-conference workshop of Painting on Water on June 20, 2009 in Boston. We may not get a thousand hands to paint on water, you can definitely have your hands in the water !!!
Learning technique is awesome. Opportunity to interact with the colleagues are priceless. Please join me either at the workshop and/or the complete conference for the total CPS experience.
= = =
Read the text below before watching the amazing video.
There is an awesome dance, called the Thousand-Hand Guan Yin, which is
making the rounds across the Internet. Considering the tight coordination
required, the accomplishment is nothing short of amazing even if the dancers were not all deaf.
Yes, you read correctly. All 21 of the dancers are complete deaf-mutes. Relying only on signals from trainers at the four corners of the stage, these extraordinary dancers deliver a visual spectacle that is at once intricate and stirring.
Its first major international debut was in Athens at the closing ceremonies
for the 2004 Paralympics. But it had long been in the repertoire of the
Chinese Disabled People's Performing Art Troupe and had traveled to more than 40 countries.
Its lead dancer is 29-year old Tai Lihua who has a BA from the Hubei Fine
Arts Institute. The video was recorded in Beijing during the Spring Festival
this year.

What the Buzz about CPSI ?
The buzz is about Innovation . . .
Are you ready to join the Revolution of Creativity for the cause of Innovation?
To be successful is to have great innovation.
Innovation is deliberate creativity.
Creativity is about change: doing something has not been done before as in a revolution.
The upcoming Creativity Conference, CPSI, from June 20 - 23, in Boston will change your outlook, perception, mission and purpose. You will not walk out as the same person when you walk in, I personally guarantee.
Why have you not heard of CPSI?
This event was created by the inventor of Brainstorming, Alex Osborn, some 50 years ago. It used to be what happened in CPSI stayed in CPSI. Yours truly attended CPSI 2006 Chicago, CPSI 2007 and 2008 Atlanta: witnessed the whole spectrum from the laugh and the joy to the puzzle and the skeptical; from the young and the old at various corners of the planet, to the left brains integrated with the right brains. After experiencing 3 years of consistent values, I have to share this.
I have to share the possibilities of Contagious Creativity with YOU.
Most creative folks are about doing something new and different. What excites them are the future, possibilities and options. They did not spend a lot of time on the past, talking about what they have done. In the light of revolution, they actually changed !!! They now have documents to show what had happened in CPSI.
Who and What are CPSI?
Click the first video for CPSI 2008. Watch it once then go back to my favorite moment at 1 minute and 33 sec when Dimis Michaelides, magician speaker, demonstrating the Amazing Eggs. Video about CPSI
Photo Album.
Keynote Speakers & Trainers
Dean Kamen, Inventor of the Segway and Founder of the FIRST Robotics Competition; Sarah Miller Caldicott, Thomas Edison’s great grandniece and author of “Innovation Like Edison”; Keith Sawyer, author of “Group Genius”
Seasoned trainers and facilitators will guide you thru the journey.
Programs
Too many choices to list them all here. There is something for everyone. From a full day, pre-fonference or post-conference special workshop to a bit-ize sampler. It's a buffet for the creativity brains.
On June 20, I will conduct Painting On Water: Think Like an Artist Act Like an Entrepreneur, from previous blog.
Sign up now
On May 11, 2009, at 1:30 pm EST, there will be a webinar to give a tour of the CPSI conference. Sign up for the newsletter. You can always unsubscripted it later.
Last but not least, Deadline for EARLY Registration is April 30.
You will be saying "Share Share" in no time.

Miracle in March
Had the good fortune to see Ms. Maya Angelou in person at Saint Sabina Church on the South Side of Chicago tonight.
It was an amazing experience to watch her dressed in gold, at her golden age. She was funny, witty and sprinkling wisdom on the audience at will. She sang, recited poems and told personal stories. What an inspiration to see what a person can become. Despite that I have read her books through the years, I looked her up on Wikipedia before the event just to refresh my memories.
I was in awe of what this woman embodied. What an interesting life. There must be a screenplay written somewhere about her life. Who would play her? Hmmm, perhaps no better choice than one of her proud daughters, Oprah Winfrey.
Unfortunately, Ms. Angelou did not wish to have her photo taken close up or give any autographs. Out of respect, no one pressed the request. It was an honor to shake her hand. Speaking to her directly, eyeball-to-eyeball, was priceless.
This is a Miracle in March. When I got the ticket, I was told that it would be very crowded. It was expected to have standing room only in a church that seats 1,200. I was prepared to bring along my binoculars. Then a surprising email from my good friend Harry informed me that he had arranged for a VIP ticket. I was able to sit up front and meet Ms. Angelou in person afterwards. What an memorable evening for me. Miracles do happen.
Thank you, Harry, thank you !!!

Citizenship Day
Swore in as a naturlized USA citizen 19 years today. Proud moment of my life as I did it on my own.
For the first few years, I hosted parties and asked friends to join me. It also served to get my friends get out of the cabin fever. It was great fun to hoist the Glory in the snow, gather up goodies and pot luck dinner, then chatted away. However, when I moved to the high rise building, parking became an issue. From then on, I switched to celebrate my citizenship day on July 4, at sunrise, on the beach. It has become a tradition.
