innovationchef.com is an Irish based blog looking at innovation news, practice & events from a local and global perspective.

Innovation is an incredibly overused and poorly understood term. We have Innovation Policy & the Innovation Taskforce and mantras. Innovate or die! Right?

You may have been turned off or disappointed. You personally might be interested but think you don’t have the time or can’t take the risk. You might have been influenced along the way to feel that innovation is too complicated, distracting or weird for you.

You might want it to be different, now.

In fact:

• The tools to double or triple the numbers of valuable ideas for your business or customers are pretty easy to understand and are straightforward to implement.
• There common limiting beliefs are and mistakes that companies make that sabotage their innovation efforts
• The processes can be engaging and positive.

Love to hear what you need, how you feel about innovation, what is stopping you and whether we could help.

The 24 Hours of Innovation is a non-stop, online marathon of innovation initiatives around the world. The event takes place during a full day and night on May 15-16 from 10.00 am to 10.00 am (CET).  The InnovationChef Blog will be contributing a special post to the  “My half time pep talk for 2009″ blog action.  We will also be contributing our talents to the program as well as trying to take in as many of the innovations on display. This should be a great event. You can confirm your interest and participation on the LinkedIn event page.

The 24 hours are divided in time slots, each one featuring an exciting innovation ranging from an innovation award to creativity sessions, an innovative auction, start-ups, and interviews with global thought leaders. Everyone can follow and join the 24 Hours of Innovation on www.boardofinnovation.com, from where theevent will be covered cross-media on blogs, traditional media, twitter, slideshare, ustream, coveritlive, flickr, scribd, vimeo,…
