Inviting serendipity to your life | John Hagel

In this short talk, management consultant and author John Hagel tells us the story of how Chris Anderson, the former editor of Wired magazine, found the CTO of his drone aircraft technology startup in the most unlikely place: an internet forum. How can we be open to that sort of serendipity in our own lives?

NOTE: Comments are disabled on this video. We made this difficult decision for the TED Archive because we believe that a well-moderated conversation allows for better commentary from more people and more viewpoints. Studies show that aggressive and hateful comments silence other commenters and drive them away; unfortunately, KZbin's comment moderation tools are simply not up to the task of allowing us to monitor comments on so many videos at once. (We'd love to see this change, KZbin.) So for now, if you'd like to comment on this talk, please use Facebook, Twitter or G+ to discuss with your networks.
