Are Great Innovators Born or made

Very excited to have an article published in the latest edition on Technology Ireland. The magazine is dedicated to providing the inspiration to innovate. Entrepreneurs, researchers and technology managers share their real life stories. It is a good read and a great resource.
The article is here.

I guess my pet topics came up.

  • Encouragement of natural creativity
  • Positive thinking
  • TRIZ

The basic point I make and probably the basic point of this blog. is this…

Creativity is not a black art. Innovation can
be learned and developed. It may take some
perseverance in the beginning, but, as with any
skill, practice yields great results. A little coaching
and some simple techniques can help us relearn
what used to be everyday. Harnessing this skill
and focusing it is the key to creating an innovative
and smart economy. It can begin with you.

Love some feedback folks…

Innovation 2010

Well it has been a while getting back to blogging. The day job has soaked up nearly all my time and probably will for the next little while. There is a lot to look forward to innovation wise in Ireland this year. The Innovation Task force report will be out soon. We will get bored with the recession after a while. The iPad just got released. The Irish Dragon’s Den will be back. So I may not be a super blogger this year but I’ll not let things go too quiet.

missed the iPad announcement?
