Innovation Sighting: Kitchen Ovens Using S.I.T.
As a teacher, it’s always rewarding to see my students create ideas that eventually make it into the marketplace.

Innovation in Practice: Seven Years Strong
This month marks the seven year anniversary of Innovation in Practice. As always, I want to thank my many readers and supporters who follow it.
2014 was an excellent year as our message about systematic creativity continues to be heard. Jacob Goldenberg and I launched our book, Inside the Box: A Proven System of Creativity for Breakthrough Results last year, and it was nominated for Innovation Book of the Year. We’re thrilled that the book is now published in fourteen languages. It is the first detailed description of Systematic Inventive Thinking (the method and the people at SIT LLC that taught it to me.)
