As we've often said "It is not failure it is rapid prototyping" of your innovation process. With a 98% failure rate in corporate innovation programs sometimes you'll need to make a mistake to make it better. But to avoid the trial and error approach and minimize these failures get a professional innovation manager to help you navigate the development of the process. The S+IG is one such group (www.sig-hq.com)

Recently, a certain search engine’s algorithm updates have not been so nice to most of the web. These Agents of G.O.O.G.L.E (yes I’m a Marvel fan!) arrive quietly, then tear relentlessly through the fabric of our very SEO souls! And what makes these updates even more frightening (and creepy) is these kill shots come in the form of cute and cuddly animals. I mean who would be afraid of a cute little Penguin…awe…or that cuddly Panda? And when was last time crowds ran screaming “The Hummingbird is coming…run for your lives!”? Never! Via Igniva Solutions

I'd suggest a lot of the more innovative university programmes are already doing much of what is suggested here. One thing to emphasise is supporting students to use digital tools specifically for learning as they generally already know how to use these tools. In otherwords, while students may often be digitally competent, they are often less digitally literate in terms of learning processes. Also, what refer to PDAs - surely old tech?

With only three of us eating, our fridge has a moderate turn over in food. But there are always packages and jars that are lost at the back of the fridge which no one can remember when they were put there. If it works, this is a great idea to help avoid health issues from very out of date food. |
