Here are the results of a BBC survey to find the worst
examples of management speak. For me, at the end

eliminate these redundant communication

Last week I ran a session for GBPA
corporate
members where we discussed innovation metrics.
We reviewed the Boston Consulting Group 2007
research on the subject and the results of my
innovation metrics web survey.
It was agreed that
most organisations find it difficult to measure
innovation in any satisfactory way. The most common
measurements are backward looking - e.g. % of
revenue from products released in the last two years.
The BCG report recommends that you select a small
number of metrics appropriate for your business and
have some for inputs, process and outputs. At the
meeting we discussed which were the best metrics to
use and our choices are listed on the BQF Innovation
Blog. Please add your comments.

Here is a popular video showing the very innovative
act by Kevin James on America's Got Talent. It
stunned the judges. How does he do it?

A remarkable video of a scenic walk in Spain along El
Camino del Rey. It is now closed to visitors. I cannot
imagine why.
