Innovation by Design

Business Week has composed an index of Innovative Companies. The stock price performance of these companies is better than the S & P. What are you doing or what is your company doing to foster innovation?
B/W has a section on Innovation. Be sure to check out the Slide Show Index of Innovative Companies. I was taken with the way B W displayed that information. What can you learn from such a display?  Does your school or company display information in an innovative manner?

The classic example of great display through innovation is Minard's depiction of Napoleon's advance and retreat from Russia.  Please click and study this example.  Note how many different bits of information are all displayed in the same diagram. My point is, here are examples of innovative displays of information. Can you incorporate such ideas in your next exhibit?

    I enjoyed the Business Week link, particularly the video about Peru. It is amazing to see the level of poverty some children live in. It was uplifting to observe how the children appreciated the lap tops and brought them home for parents to learn along with them. Keep your eyes open for Anthony, since he wants to become an accountant, he might show up in one of your classes any day!
