Yesterday I spent the day in meetings in Washington DC talking to various parts of the Federal government on how to accelerate innovation driven business development in the USA.
As I reflected on the meetings this morning I realized that what I “saw” was very different than my perceptions of Washington and not at all like the perceptions the media gives us.
Reading the front page of today's USA Today business section I found that the key stories tell everything you need to know about innovation.
1. Suzuki has a new Car that "could lift the automaker out of obscurity in the USA"
• Lesson: The power of innovation to transform sales success
2. Linux Raps harder at company doors
• Lesson: Open source is a competitor to all industries. It's both a tool and a threat.
3. Wall Street feels wrath of man on the street
• Lesson: The interconnected world makes it easier for customers to find out what you have or don't have.
