Understand Innovation in 5 minutes

Innovation has become a big buzz word these days, and is often thrown around as a business value or mission without an understanding of what it means. It is also often used interchangeably with the word creativity, a universal process that may or may not lead to innovation. I found this slideshow at www.brokenbulbs.com and thought it was a great, short intro to innovation: Understand-innovation-in-5-minutes.

Indexed - Creative Blog #1

I was scrolling through the Times.com 20 top rated blogs and came upon Indexed, a completely creative and witty blog by Jessica Hagy. Like the Gaping Void creator, Hugh McLoud, who started out by using the backs of napkins and then moved to the backs of business cards (and whose blog I also really like), Jessica keeps it simple as well and uses index cards and simple venn diagrams to "make fun of some things and sense of others." It's worth exploring.

It inspired me to start a "Creative Blogs" list that I will add to over time. Indexed is officially Creative Blog #1 - blogs with a creative ingenuity that inspires me (and which I have not already featured in my blog posts).
