Happy Holidays everyone!
 
Whatever holiday you celebrate and whether it is warm or cold where you are, may the season be festive and joyful for you.
 
Having returned from the Open Innovation Summit and a bit of a family vacation afterwards in Orlando, I'm now focusing on my innovation book project for John Wiley & Sons. I will be reaching out to companies to gather case studies and research for the book. Please let me know if you or your company would like to participate.

Blogging Innovation is still growing at a rapid pace (on pace for 350,000 pages in December). If you'd like to contribute an article on a marketing or innovation topic, and grow your visibility, please contact me.
 
I am also pleased to announce Business Strategy Innovation's new partner in Chile - Triada Innovacion.
