 <title>Is Narrowness Killing Innovation?</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog-post/narrowness-killing-innovation</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;In recent years, education (and work) have tended to narrow. What do I mean by this? Simply that students are expected to develop particular specializations very early on and that this knowledge-narrowness (fuelled by curricula that are increasingly based on the vocational needs of employers) is carried through to the work environment. Once these ‘job-ready’ students are inside organizations they often narrow their thinking even further until they end up as intelligent idiots – people that know an awful lot about very little.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Invitation to a Party</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog-post/invitation-party</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Many of my colleagues recently attended the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.oreilly.com/webexsf2008/public/content/home&quot;&gt;Web2.0Expo&lt;/a&gt; in San Francisco. From over 2K miles away I followed those twittering the fine details, longing for a way to easily get to the West Coast. This expo captivated my attention because the world live web, by its very nature, invites each of us to learn.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Design and Innovation: What&#039;s the Problem?</title>
 <link>http://www.fastcompany.com/blog-post/design-and-innovation-whats-problem-0</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Innovation requires an environment that is open to new ideas. That&#039;s all well and good, but innovation is more than blue sky. In order to encourage new and novel solutions, you have to ask the right questions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many brainstorming sessions are centered around questions that boil down to “What should we do in response to our competitor’s product or service?” Now the reason you are having the meeting in the first place may be because your competitor has just taken a big chunk of your market share, so that seems like a legitimate question.&lt;/p&gt;
