So it's Friday, and the end of the official work week is at hand. Here's an innovation inspiration to make your weekend a great one.
Any of you who read this blog regularly know that one of the reasons we love helping our clients create new value through innovation is that their newly energized creativity & innovation skills don't disappear when they head home from work. We are as likely to hear stories of massive new revenue creation from our clients as we are to hear that they figured out a way to creatively solve a tough problem in their home or community. We're as likely to hear that a business unit is performing in a measurably better way as we are to hear that someone in that business unit has found a way to do something remarkably good in the world.
Our friends at Daily Good pointed me to a story out of NY City this morning, about a guy who is selling computers. Not for cash though. The currency he is requiring is a promise of a good deed. He's building a "Karmatocracy". He's figured out a way to take something he has of value, and convert it directly into creative good works from others. Now that's innovative!

I was a Scout when I was young, and I'm a Scoutmaster for my son's troop now. The Scout Slogan is "Do a Good Turn Daily" and the fellow in the story has innovatively leveraged his effort to "Do a Good Turn". He is an innovative altruist!
Have a great weekend and innovate for your family & community as you do so! Practice your innovation skills at home, and you'll come back to work ready to create great value on monday!
