In a world where all paths are equal, none are worth taking. When given the opportunity to “innovate”, we are often smothered by the possibilities because we place no constraints on the problems or solution. By carefully focusing our attention on the green, growing edge surrounding your problem of interest, you can dramatically increase your quality and quantity of thinking around innovative ideas and strategies.

O’Reilly Open Source Convention

Date: Wednesday, July 25
Time: 4:30pm – 5:15pm

All too often when we sit down with a new technology, we get distracted with what we could do instead of focusing on what we should do. With our quiver full of buzzwords like Ajax, “social networking,” and “LAMP stack,” our products get driven by an ever-increasing technological capability instead of a true understanding of customer needs and desires.
