Mark your September calendars! Gartner will present its 2008 summit on Portals, Content and Collaboration September, 17 - 19, in Los Angeles, CA. Gartner’s events are always fun due to their reputation as a well-known technology research and advisory firm and this sure looks like an event worth attending.
With a focus on innovation, Gartner will hold its first ever Innovation Panel, in which the CEOs of open innovation network organizations will share their insights on innovation. They will coach us on how to look for and find innovation and, most importantly, on how to protect innovative ideas.
As I return to my day job and start the new year, I will take inventory of my work-related resolutions. Topping the list will be "don't fight change."
You see, as a designer, I often find myself getting too attached to the concepts I produce and while I understand the importance of compromising, I find myself grinding my teeth when making changes. Yet, in any change lies the opportunity for innovation. I can't possibly know how to revolutionize and revitalize all by myself. Working closely with others brings together different, fresh perspectives that will not only help me design a product that meets the client's needs, but also improves the chances that our solution will be found thinking outside the box.
