Wow. Man. Oh. Man. If you are at all interested in seeing where business is going, if you are a total non-believer and think innovation means cutesy chairs and justly died with the dot com 90s, or if you need some inspiration and hope, this weeks BW is a must read. The pull-out section mid-magazine talks about innovation and is designed to be innovative--right down to a different look and feel to give a totally different user experience for the reader. What's the bottom line? Collaboration, fusion of ideas and disciplines, and the need to aggregate seemingly disparate facts, notions, ideas, and observations in order to create new wholes. I personally feel like I have hit the Golden Age for people like myself who don't fit into one container. This issue is a perfect supplement to Daniel Pink's "A Whole New Mind" book which, if you know me, you know that I absolutely adore. Wes Monroe's brother--Bro Monroe--if you will, is a perfect example of the combination of thought-skill that is providing innovative solutions to problems. The only thing I get down on myself about is all of these people have favorite blogs and websites and I honestly barely ever use the stuff--I know you don't believe it, but it is totally true. I really need to find more time per day to peruse. Can you tell me how much time you spend reading blogs, etc online?
