Ideas – How to Save Them from Expiring….

Posted on February 21, 2012 by Jeffrey Tobias in Innovation

David Brier has posted an amusing, but relevant post, on Fast Company. Key elements (interspersed with wonderful cartoons from Tom Fishburne) include:

  • Creativity Isn’t The Enemy (Unless Progress Is Your Opponent);
  • Shooting The Messenger;
  • Innovation: Knowing When To Stop;
  • Price And Features Are Not The Answer

The lessons are three:

  • Innovation can be encouraged. More so, it must be.
  • Innovation is the foundation that separates the great from the wannabe.
  • The challenging of the status quo should not be the exception but the rule, possibly the only rule in the realm of innovation worth following.
