Wednesday linkfest
- Review of idea generation / innovation management software. It’s more of a listing than a review, but it’s the closest thing I’ve found. I get asked about this all the time – anyone know of a better comparative review of these kinds of “creativity support” tools?
- Designing in hostile territory. Good advice here. Especially the last bit: bite off as little as possible to generate proof.
- How important is practice? Interesting thread on metafilter about the under/over rated nature of practice and how people think about it. Tech-y focus but not too much.
- Innovation and invention. Found this transcript of a short speech by the CEO of Boeing the other day. Talks about his list of myths of innovation – different but similar to the ones in my book.
Hi, Scott.
Thanks for the link to my post on idea/innovation software! I’ve actually been a reader of yours for quite some time, so was really happy to see this.
I mainly wrote the post to start sorting out some of my thoughts on what was out there in the industry. There’s some great stuff in the comments from a number of the companies that I listed, which build on what I wrote.
It’s a review only in that I took a look at the marketing materials for all the companies. Very few of them even have screenshots up, let alone demos you can try. There’s a lot of work to be done here, in my opinion.
Best regards,
Jed
Hi Scott,
I wasn’t really sure where to pop this, but then I thought it was really a bit of a link fest share of its own. Not sure if you’ve come across this site. Quite a nice aggregator of topics:
