		<description><![CDATA[The technology of communication devices, systems, services  has changed over the years. There have been telegraph, telephone, radio, television, and a variety of others. The characteristics of each technology have dictated the behavioural model of the systems and the services available to users.

With the advent of the internet, systems have tended to emulate traditional models: [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=observations.johnwlewis.info&blog=5076728&post=522&subd=johnwlewis&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

How often does a great conference on an emerging subject attract local, national and global participants to a quiet corner of the UK? Not often, I suspect.
Nevertheless last Friday, 2010 February 26, it happened again at LikeMinds 2010! The first time it happened was in 2009 on October 16th.

		<description><![CDATA[This is news to many people and organisations. Many take the view that “innovation” happens somehow, and that it is fairly random, risky and unmanageable. But others are showing that this is not so.
The article, The manageability of innovation, describes that this is not unlike the situation in other areas in the past.

		<description><![CDATA[The topic of innovation is generating considerable interest and an increasing quantity of communication traffic. So do we need yet more communication on this? Do we need more ideas? Do we need to learn more about managing innovation?
“Oh yes!” is the answer to both questions and, also, those two issues go hand-in-hand.
What is innovation?
