I recently introduced myself to my Co-Authors on
Innovation 2004 and invited everyone to visit this Blog. Charlie Garland of
Business Brainstorm gave me a wonderful insight - that of including "Inspiration" as a cog in the wheel of the "Innovation Process" from one of my last posts. He also suggested that the cycle should be iterative instead of stopping with "Illustration". Thank you for the wonderful observation Charlie!
