The article, by Nina Sovich, details how certain travel agents have reinvented themselves to compete when online trip planning now dominates over help from actual travel agents.

As I stare down the tiny leaf-shaped fruit well of my yogurt container, I stop to think, why can’t I ever get ALL of the fruit from this little reservoir? There is always some fruit left over. My spoon is too wide to reach the corners. After trying other options in the silverware drawer, a closer look at the back of my spoon reveals the solution; the small and narrow curve of the spoon handle turns out to be a perfect fit to fulfill my fruity yogurt need!

Most Americans don’t even come close to getting enough sleep. The average in the USA is 6.8 hours, and in my anecdotal experience, many people working in high pressure, ‘innovation on demand’ jobs probably get considerably less than that. But a couple of studies suggest very strongly that sleep may be even more important for.

When we think of Albert Einstein, we inevitably conjure up images of the icon rather than the man. We see Einstein with his wild hair and his tongue sticking out or Einstein as a playful old man, riding a bicycle. We remember his cheerful confidence and his easy comfort with his own genius. He wasn’t always.

Premise: I have read countless blog posts, wrote a few myself, watched videos, did innovation courses, read books on innovation, all in the quest to learn what makes innovation happen and if there is a way to institutionalize innovation.

In the aftermath of the incident, we heard that "human error" caused the false alert to be transmitted widely to citizens of the state. Norman challenges this initial conclusion.

My first white paper on this topic was called “IoD, Internet of Devices.” At the same time, colleagues at MIT AutoID Center, were propagating IoT. Now almost 18 years later, I am delighted to see IoT becoming hot again. Why?

We get to learn a lot from our customers. They share the campaigns that they’re launching, they tell us what they’re interested in learning, and they tell us how others are responding to the same problems that they have.

Why do we find it so hard to change our minds? Why are we so critical of people who do change their minds? Stalin. John Adair, the leadership expert, says that the most important (and often the most difficult) sentence for a leader to utter is, ’I admit that I was wrong.’ But on the rare occasions when political leaders change their minds they are accused in the media of flip-flopping, of doing a ‘U-turn’ or of lacking conviction.
