November 25, 2008 · Leave a Comment

ReadWriteWeb on a recent Accenture report, which concludes that “Millennials” will route around IT departments that can’t (or won’t) keep up.

Oh, it’s not just Millennials, trust me.

MOON. Are you with me now?

I’ve pointed people at this in other venues, but for those who haven’t seen it, I recommend checking out Hugh MacLeod over at gapingvoid. He has a great concept: The “Global Microbrand”:A small, tiny brand, that “sells” all over the world.I came upon this not long after really getting serious about the Innovation ideas I’d been playing with.The archives of the Global Microbrand theme contains some gems, like the The Thingamy Manifesto

An Innovation Engine built for n

July 25, 2007 · Leave a Comment

I’m working on some ideas for an innovation-related startup. The working name is Imaginary Labs, and it’s based in large part on previous work I’ve done using group collaboration to make things happen. In the past I’ve worked with groups of smart people to tackle specific projects or areas of effort, such as with MIT’s Network Security team.Now I am interested in creating a more general-purpose model, that will help groups and individuals conceive, plan, and execute projects. The main thrust is to enable projects that are economically rewarding, but hobby and altruistic projects will work just as well.I have started to share the basic ideas with a larger audience, inviting those who find the concept interesting to participate in refining the concept and joining the effort.

8/20 Edit: Fixed bad URL to Imaginary Labs page.
