INNOVATION IS A PRE-CONDITION FOR BUSINESS WISHING TO THRIVE. And obviously innovation, like any discipline that grows and changes, must have a new frontier. If you could choose any one pathway for re-vitalizing innovation, what would it be?
Social movement theory shows that most movements take shape "against something"--that is people align around negative emotions like anger, indignation. But research by Brodie Boland on "orchestrated social movements" show how positivity can mobilize.
Here is the link to the Nasdaq commercial. It was a series. Imagine something like this as a public service announcement of Nobel like nominations--the power of business innovation for world benefit series. http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=relmfu&v=rdLVxJ0D40E
I think companies want their innovation lifted up and spread in really credible and brand elevating ways. I remember a recent commercial on TV about Nasdaq stock exchange. But before the Nasdaq part, it lifted up the stories of several companies, like Cisco, etc. the CEOs were pointing to some amazing strength...or innovation. Then the scene turned to Nasdaq. Part of the appeal for the business, I am sure, was the fact of being lifted up in the same add with other great innovators.
So imagine a psa--a public serivice announcement--At a similar level of quality--but this time instead ofNasdaq it is ....? International and national chambers of commerce? I need to hunt down that series of tv spots that Nasdaq did, becuase they were great.
