This past election season certainly has proven beyond the shadow of a doubt the power of a single idea, expertly crafted and flawlessly executed. Proof that the system was tragically flawed is more than evident in our current economic crisis. Proof that the system has the ability to self-correct to reinvent itself to address these flaws is also more than evident. This is something we should not take for granted. It is the end result of more than two hundred years of searching for “a more perfect union.”. Although many of the promises that have been made may prove impossible to deliver upon, the overall commitment to “change” seems to be driving the bus. Above all of this, there seems to be a willingness from the new administration to be responsive to new ideas and innovative ways of conducting the business of government going forward. For this alone, we should all be thankful. But is it real, or is it rhetoric? Ever the skeptic, I decided to put it to the test. For the past two weeks, I have begun the process of bringing a new idea to the attention of the Office of the President-Elect. |

The White House is more than just a fancy hotel for a four-year stay in Washington. It is the seat of the executive branch of the federal government. The purpose of the OCA is to bring together the most creative minds in our nation to address our most pressing problems. From architects to zoologists, I believe that 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. The OCA will serve as their on-ramp to involvement by providing them with both ways and means to contribute their time and their genius to generating the millions of solutions needed to effect the Administration’s sacred promise to the American people to address the following issues: 1. Revitalizing the Economy Certainly this becomes a full plate for any creative mind to contemplate, let alone address. But as a community of creative minds, the power and the capacity to create the solutions required can be certainly be achieved. Never one to propose an idea without some form of “Proof of Concept” I enlisted the help of some friends to build a microcosim of how such an Office might work.You can visit our demo at : http://whitehouseofficeofcreativeaffairs.wordpress.com Think "New."
