Innovation Execution: Lessons Learned From Execs In The Trenches

I was recently invited to appear on the Georgia Business Coaches Radio Show, and had the opportunity to share a little bit of what we're learning about Innovation from Execs in the trenches actually doing it (some well, some not so well) everyday.

Brief Excerpt (2:19)


Expanded Segment (14:07)


Enjoy . . .

CHAIRish The Future . . .

As many of you know, I have a special place in my heart for the important work they're doing over at The Furniture Bank Of Metro Atlanta.

Please consider joining us February 28 for a fun-filled evening that will help us raise a little money to support their efforts.

You can hear FBMA's Executive Director, Megan Anderson describe their mission and share details for the "Chairish The Future" event below:



Hope To See You There !

Innovation: What Are You Scared Of ?

We interviewed Sales & Marketing Consultant John Hollner this week -- learned alot about the FEAR of Innovation . . . and what you can do about it.

You can listen to (and download) the Feb. 9 Full Broadcast Here, which includes OWLink CEO Paul Tzeng describing how he took their revolutionary new product to market.

In the meantime . . . Here's a brief excerpt (6:38) from our interview with Hollner:


- Enjoy

P.S. ** No Show Next Monday (2/16/09). We'll be coming back from the Daytona 500 that day. We have a great show lined up for Feb. 23 though -- including Jennifer Ruzek, Director for Kaiser Permanente's Innovation Center.

High Velocity Innovation: Stone To Speak Feb. 18, At The Georgian Club

I've been invited to speak on High Velocity Innovation for Atlanta-based business consortium, GrowthAnswers -- Feb. 18 at The Georgian Club.

At the risk of sounding a bit immodest, I think you'll find the $25 well invested -- so if you're in the Atlanta area and can pull yourself out of bed early that morning, I hope you'll join us.

** Actually -- If you move fast, you can keep your $25 . . . As of this posting, I still have 2 Comp Tickets if you're interested. First two to e-mail me with the request, their yours: stone@desai.com

The experience includes me waxing eloquent about Innovation Execution, an opportunity to meet other Execs and their teams, and a hot breakfast. What more could you want?

Interesting Side Note: They hot-linked my name to my twitter profile rather than some static web page, and . . . posted a brief excerpt from a recent interview. Welcome to the "real-time" world of multi and social media, huh?

Melissa Galt: Blueprint Your Future And Create Your Own Economy

We had a jam-packed show yesterday on High Velocity Radio - too much to capture effectively in one post, so . . . we'll take it one segment at a time. Our first interview was with Design Guru and Author / Speaker Melissa Galt.

You can download Monday's Full Broadcast here. In the meantime, below is streaming audio of both a brief excerpt (2:15) and the complete segment (18:00) from Melissa's appearance:
