Half way through my program, the company I had been working for went bankrupt. I graduated last fall, and started developing software as a sole proprietor while looking for an employment opportunity. I am very interested in innovation and its role in the present and future economy. I look forward to a creative and innovative AgendaCamp Waterloo!

I was privileged to attend an event this week, “The Myths of Innovation with Scott Berkun.” An insightful take-away was a 4 step process for increasing innovation:
1. Recognize that all people are creative and innovative (we survive!)
2. Recognize that of the numerous ideas we get, not many are good
3. Write the interesting ideas down (perhaps in a handy journal)
4. Review the journal regularly
The last two steps often separate great innovators from everyone else.
Effective innovation solves real problems. It is usually a result of practical creative thinking and persistent hard work. It often simplifies things that first appear difficult.
We can all be innovative. It is a core competency for survival.
