A marketing perspective Talk parameters– become Steve Jobs... ha. ha. how I define innovation – more than a bunch of ideas. It why I use marketing as a guide- because it covers all aspects of LIS operations– facilities, staffing, products, placements, Don’t forget that innovative ideas can come from the unmet customer needs and preferences. But it’s a catch22. Steve Jobs.... they don’t know what they want until they see it. They can’t always imagine how something could be different from what they already know. needs of customers. Get to know your customers better. Spend more time with them. Really get to understand their dreams so you can help fulfill those dreamsNOT talking about how to manage innovation. Categories for an LIS innovation pipeline Lots of perspectives but here are a few products - A product or service is merely a means to an end. The real deeper value lies in the storyattached. Customer journeys. An open letter that answers “how does it feel to be a customer of this library/lis?” services positioning (differenciation, competitive superiority) Customer experience.

. Analytics is seen as the competitive differentiator — perhaps the only competitive differentiator — between companies competing in the new global realm.IBM’s Watson defeated two reigning Jeopardy! champions, demonstrating that artificial intelligence has matured to a point where it can address queries in areas relating to business intelligence, medicine, engineering, and more. Expect to see more systems capable of responding to natural-language queries supporting decision-making across a variety of disciplines and industry areas.The New York Times’ Tom Friedman described it as the emerging DIY economy, made possible through “the mass diffusion of low-cost, high-powered innovation technologies — from hand-held computers to Web sites that offer any imaginable service — plus cheap connectivity. They are transforming how business is done.” It’s all about self-service, and the ability to start, fund and staff businesses through online resources.4. massive data center power for businesses.Crowdsourcers. turning to online resources for new ideas or to solve tough business problems. From digitizing library collections to prediction markets, online resources and collective talent will be brought to bear on many areas. One example is prediction markets — there are external markets, but organizations will be increasing applying their own internal markets to help drive decision making. Internally, organizations may have thousands of employees and petabytes worth of information — prediction markets and crowdsourced competitions may help capture that knowledge efficiently.6) Smartphones. disruptive technology... cameras, portable music players, video games, GPS devices, PCs, watches, remote controls, alarm clocks,7. 7) 3D printers. Greater efficiencies through IT, combined with eEmerging developments such as 3D printing brings more production back to North America. Research by The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) suggests that production of transportation goods such as vehicles and auto parts, electrical equipment including household appliances, and furniture will soon return to US shores. The most promising new concept with the greatest implications for manufacturing and production, however, is “desktop manufacturing,” made possible by 3D printing. If 3D printing takes hold, mass production within the US could be far cheaper than producing and shipping products from overseas.8 ) Games. Gartner predicts that 50% of organizations that manage innovation processes will gamify those processes by 2015,9.Not enought talent.... new priorities now occupy the business leaders’ agendas: driving innovation, and finding the right talent to drive that innovation. A majority of business leaders say looming skills shortages is a big issue: Two-thirds say they face a “limited supply of candidates with the right skills,” However, organizations have been stingy with support for training — which would close a lot of the skills gaps now being experienced.10) Social responsibility. Companies are far more transparent now, thanks to information technology and social media. This calls for a new type of relationship with the world.

Simply go about your day, look good and stay connected.very cool. I can see e-fabric being using as wallpaper. Put a library on your ceiling and read in bed.
This is book looks to answer the question, "Can Innovation really be routine?" This book not only answers that questions but actually gets into the details of "How". The title of the book is "How Breakthroughs Happen" and Hargadon definitely successfully explains the `How'. He doesn't proclaim that it is easy, but he does give a road map of how to achieve innovation through technology brokering, he even explains the different paths that apply to different types of companies. This book is ambitious since it is going to go in the face of popular belief that innovation is the sole province of geniuses. But it also isn't just another create an "innovative work space" through giving break/games rooms, adding free soda machines and providing all employees with Herman Miller chairs! This isn't a superficial answer to innovation; you can't just throw money at this and hope that innovation will just happen! But follow his rules and strategies you should be able to create an environment where recombinant ideas can flourish.The central thesis of the book is that Innovation can be achieved through some best practices but first companies need to overcome the romantic preconception that innovation is the sole province of lone geniuses. Hargadon is a social scientist that has been researching innovation for the past decade. He explores the concept of technology brokering and creating Innovation factories a subject he first wrote about in a Harvard Business Review article - Building an Innovation Factory.(Building the Innovation Factory (email to request a copy)With R. I. Sutton (2000), Harvard Business Review, May-June. )
Good questions! Tough to answer honestly.
