Disrupting Ourselves with Open Innovation
Yesterday at the PDMA Conference on Social Product Development and Co-Creation, we heard from David Ritter, CTO of InnoCentive. David talked about using challenge-driven product development in a B2B environment to take advantage of resources working outside of the immediate sphere and accelerate innovation capacity.

Who’s Your Crowd? The Use of Virtual Private Expert Networks

Chasing Unicorns
In search of the elusive “ideal webcast”
What do unicorns have to do with webcasts? In many aspects of our lives, we spend countless hours searching for things that we think would be ideal, only to find out they don’t actually exist. Does the ideal webcast exist? Not sure, but we think we’re getting pretty close.

Kalypso Kares Profile: Amy Kenly
Volunteering with the NHSPCA to combat animal cruelty
I’ve ridden horses most of my life. I own and compete a very plump and shiny thoroughbred horse. While his life is great, there are lots of horses that don’t have it so easy. Horse care is extremely expensive, especially in winter in New England when a horse cannot forage for his own food. The NHSPCA is dedicated to helping horses whose owners are no longer able to care for them.

Innovation in a Jobless Recovery = Strategy + Process + Technology + People
In late September, Aberdeen will host a Leadership in Product Development summit in Boston. This year’s summit theme is Innovation Strategies for a Jobless Recovery. Obviously, if the recovery is jobless, it means we all have a ton of work on our plates. So how can leaving the office for two days to attend this conference actually help you?
