Charting new territory
What are they doing other than visiting watering holes on Fleet Street or putting themselves through emotionally draining team-building exercises? Readers of this blog may be excused for asking this question. After all, the postings here have been somewhat “navel gazing”, as Mike put it kindly.
But don’t worry, we’ve been working hard on other things as well. And we will now write more about them.
We are currently spending much of our time developing a process to gather ideas from the outside world. So expect to shortly see a “call for ideas” here. To cast our net widely, we’ll also e-mail it, for instance, to readers of The Economist, post it in the blogosphere and do some advertising. Why are we doing this? Because we think that we don’t have all the answers.
It is hard to predict how many ideas we’ll receive. So the other main item on our to-do list is to come up with a robust mechanism to sift and analyse the submissions.
We sure hope that such openness and our processes are innovative in themselves. But if you know of companies that have gone down a similar path to come up with something innovative on the web, please let us know.
