It would follow then, there is a lot of fat hanging out in the middle! If we work at the edge to make sense of the what's going on, we are well on the way to a new order. Your reflecting on innovation happening at the edge and the inertia of mainstream hindering and inhibiting innovation, suggests to me that your work environment NASA is a great metaphor. Isn't your mission and vision to be out there on the edge? Has the realisation of such majesty and grandeur sometimes been hindered and inhibited by mindsets and cultures that get in the way? Just wondering. Joe, I really like your first sentence above, "If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room."

Wonderful post, Robyn. Specifically, that innovation is happening at the edges is a perspective that I had not considered. Yet upon reflection, the inertia of mainstream hinders and inhibits innovation. Thank you for bringing that point to light for me. “If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room.” Wonderful post, Robyn.

A truly interesting and appropriate post. I love the use of “wisdom” tools (resonates with me because of my Wisdom Notes on my web site:-)

You have hit the nail on the head here with many good points eg:- unconstrained by politics, ideologies, geography, ethnicity, income, gender, age or any of the traditional barriers to entry and I would add one other culture – I am seeing a wonderful merging of cultures through the use of Social Community sites such as Twitter and LinkedIn and building truly borderless relationships.

So to move back to your Wisdom Tools – absolutely a wonderful expression as we all learn form each other, share knowledge openly and transparently – wisdom tools is a great description!!.

The new site structure is also very nice, easy to navigate and pleasing on the eye and of course full of good content.

Take care

Colin
