This month marks the five year anniversary for Innovation in Practice, and I want to thank my readers and supporters who follow it. Blogging is rewarding, but challenging. Most bloggers quit within two years for a variety of reasons: lack of motivation, lack of strategy, no one is reading, nothing to write about, or not enough time. Fortunately, I have yet to be hit by any of these except perhaps the last one - time constraints - which will never go away. My goal is to make this blog different from other innovation blogs and websites. Instead of focusing on why innovation is important, I focus on how innovation happens. My sense is corporate leaders realize already the importance of innovation, but they struggle with how to put it motion. Calling a consultant is not the answer. Learning the skill of innovation to be self sufficient is the answer.
