In Search of Innovation www.WSJ.com
Those ideas, however, don’t really come from nowhere. Instead, they are typically at the edge of a company’s radar screen, and sometimes a bit beyond: trends in peripheral industries...
...To be truly innovative, companies sometimes have to change their frames of reference, extend their search space. New ways of thinking and organization can be required as well.
In Search of Innovation WSJ.comWhen companies try to come up with new ideas, they too often look only where they always look. That won’t get them anywhere.JUNE 22, 2009 INNOVATION

Wait...!
Is innovation an “innovation opportunity” for LIS?
There’s a “big global ‘idea machine’ that is revolutionizing opportunities for innovative thinking.”

Question Your Assumptions
Ask questions that challenge. Evaluation what you do, how you do it, and who you do it for.
What situation do you know will never happen to your library?
What situation is so outside the realm of possibility that there is no need to prepare for it on any level?
What would be the effect on your business if it did happen?
How would you respond and what would you do?
