Implementing social media in any part of your life calls for a cross check question “is this working?”. If it works is not the only question, but is it a tool that works and works and works? Does it give us the stay power of the energize bunny? Read more…

Has anyone researched the effectiveness of research? Sounds funny, but is the true medicine for innovation looking at what has been or what is? Ok, I am not completely daft. I get that the more information we know the better we are prepared for societies projects, such as the boardroom of venture capitalists.
