Dear GKD Members, Our discussions have been so fruitful...the seeds of some wonderful solutions and insights into how to deliver progress.
I would like to propose a bit of a diversion... I am convinced that what we are all seeking is 'innovation.' In fact, at the Malaysia conference (and thereafter), I continue to suggest that we substitute the word 'innovation' for the 'I' in ICT. Let me invite others to view a conversation that was recently held on KnowledgeBoard of the European Union - their portal for knowledge, innovation and collaboration. We have been fortunate to have our new book 'In Search of Innovation' selected for the June Book-of-the-Month on KnowledgeBoard. You can read the book, reviews and Foreword by Leif Edvinsson at: http://www.knowledgeboard.com/cgi-bin/item.cgi?id=140072 The transcript of the dialogue can be read here: http://www.knowledgeboard.com/cgi-bin/item.cgi?id=142321 You can see how we would like to explore the innovation process - from a child and leadership perspective. Consider others who you consider innovators: (1) What made them successful? (2) What ideas have you had that have been successfully innovated? (3) What are the best ideas you have had that should have been better received?! Ours is a world to innovate... Debra P.S.
