WHY READ IT
Head for this blog aggregator -- a blog of blogs -- to get top-quality entries on innovation and creativity all in one place. Corante, a blog media company, selects the best posts from member blogs (15 and counting) and features them alongside commentary from two knowledgeable editors. It adds up to a mix of new voices, helpful context, and ahead-of-the-curve musings on everything from design to the newest ways to measure innovation. This network is the fourth Corante blog hub, joining sites on marketing, media, and technology.
After a hiatus of several months, the Corante Innovation Hub is relaunching in October. This means two things -- one, we will resume postings on the editorial blog (the one you are reading now!). And two, we are hosting on this blog a Blogjam -- live blogging from the Collaborative Innovation Summit, (aka BIF-2) which will be held Oct. 3 and 4 in Providence, RI.
Here's more information about the Collaborative Innovation Summit:
BIF-2 will be hosted by Wall Street Journal technology columnist Walt Mossberg and architect, author, and TED founder Richard Saul Wurman. The duo will guide participants through a program that includes Segway inventor Dean Kamen, Nestlé Purina Vice President Betsy Cohen, Gap Inc. Executive Vice President Ivy Ross, Sirius Satellite Radio Executive Vice President Mary Pat Ryan, Anatomical Travelogue CEO Alexander Tsiaras, Pandora.com founder Tim Westergren, and Titanic Discoverer Bob Ballard, Fast Company co-founder Bill Taylor, Medici Effect author Frans Johansson, Seinfeld and Saturday Night Live writer Andy Robin, IDEO’s Director of Human Factors Design and Research Jane Fulton Suri, InnoCentive co-founder Alph Bingham, MIT Media Lab Biomechatronics Director Hugh Herr, Liz Lerman Dance Exchange Founder and Artistic Director Liz Lerman, architect/artist Michael Singer, network guru Peter Gloor, and Director of R&D for Blue’s Clues Alice Wilder, among others.
The Summit format — more conversation than conference — is unique. Presenters have only fifteen minutes on stage to share personal reflections on how they created innovation or catalyzed change. Groups of storytellers are blocked around generous breaks that give participants and storytellers ample opportunity to interact. Most importantly, storytellers fully participate in the two-day event as members of the audience.
