In order to greater understand what we mean when we say "innovate" we've embarked on a community project collecting user submitted one-liners defining our perception of innovation. All posts and emailed submissions will be made public Monday morning with a cloud swarm highlighting key phrases in our definitions to follow in the coming week or two. To participate please visit http://jburg.typepad.com/future/2007/08/one-line-survey.html#comments . Looking forward to hearing from all of you!

Innovate outside. Biggest lesson of the last 14 months since throwing myself off Archant Towers - or being thrown off; long story - is the beauty of being nimble. No reporting back to boards; no treading on vested interests; no joint venture partnerships; no questioning as to what, exactly, the other party is bringing to the party other than their own self-interest. Besides, not having a regular wage for 14 months tends to concentrate the mind rather more; sharpens that innovative edge. IMHO, it’s not a contest. Innovate outside.

]]> Comment on Does the world need another volunteer matching site? by Nan Hawthorne http://projectredstripe.com/blog/2007/07/03/does-the-world-need-another-volunteer-matching-site/#comment-8720 Nan Hawthorne Wed, 08 Aug 2007 16:16:51 +0000 http://projectredstripe.com/blog/2007/07/03/does-the-world-need-another-volunteer-matching-site/#comment-8720 I would like to add to what Roger said above. I have trained and written on the management of volunteer resources for almost 20 years and have come to understand that volunteer commitment is something that is built on trust. Managers of these resources need to learn to build community among volunteers, whether actual or virtual. The profession is a ragged one at best, in spite of the leadership of many talented individuals in the field. This is in part the result of oUr societies giving lip service to valuing the contributions of volunteers but in fact making it a low priority in terms of status and support.
