As we enter 2019 I always like to take a day or so, to reflect and think about what I should be focusing upon in the next year, around innovation. What has influenced me in 2018 and what I feel is shaping my thinking going into 2019? On my other main site focusing specifically on ecosystems and platform related work , I wrote 24 posts.

At Viima, we’re working hard to democratize innovation, and today’s post is a natural way for us to further that mission. Innovation can’t be taught or learnt. You just have it, or you don’t.
