How can real-time feedback loops elevate the effectiveness of panel discussions toward the purpose of accelerating the pace of product/service innovation (or the accuracy of discoveries), where the objective is to reduce both the average cost of innovation and the latency in realizing innovation? What do you believe can be done to improve the relevance, resonance, originality, and uniqueness of the collective intelligence emerging from panel-based conversations? Here's my first attempt at making some headway in this field. I'm looking for an event venue, panelists, moderators, event sponsors, and other team members to participate with me in holding a discussion panel for Social Media Week in the San Francisco-San Jose metro during the week or February 1-5, 2010.
