I've been the acting Branch Librarian for a week and life has been busy to say the least. Here is something I found on Stephen Abram's blog.

10 Rules for Innovators

Talentism has these 10 Rules for Innovators here.

(1) Innovation starts with "And"
(2) Not Just Smart, But Always Focused
(3) Make Sure You Have the "No But" Critic in the Room
(4) Build Crappy Prototypes Fast
(5) Don't Listen To Customers, Watch Them
(6) If It's Right, Change It
(7) Sell it Like you Play It
(8) Iterate 'Till You Drop
(9) Appoint One Person Bad Cop and Follow Their Command
(10) Innovation Is About Learning, not Genius

I love number 4. Make mistakes and you learn. Fall in love with your first draft and it's crap.

Worth discussing over a brown bag lunch.
