And now for something completely different, John Cleese (of Fawlty Towers and Monty Python fame) is a keynote speaker at the Creativity World Forum in Antwerp taking place on 19 & 20 November.

He is joined by other big names including Steve Wozniak (co-founder of Apple), Chris Anderson (Editor of Wired magazine and author of The Long Tail), amongst others.

What I didn’t know about John Cleese is that he’s well-respected worldwide for his corporate training programmes.  One is his famous quotes is “If you want creative workers, give them enough time to play.”  He presents a discussion at the Forum entitled “The Importance of Creativity”.

One of his other famous quotes is:  “We are the knights who say… Ni!”

Equally profound.
