Stoking Your Innovation Bonfire on Twitter

#innochat this Thursday with author Braden Kelley

Stoking Your Innovation Bonfire on TwitterOn Thursday, November 18, 2010 at Noon EST I will be participating in a twitter chat at #innochat (6PM in Europe, 9AM on the west coast). One great way to follow along is to use this URL:

http://tweetchat.com/room/innochat

I will be discussing some of the topics in my new book Stoking Your Innovation Bonfire, especially the role and importance of innovation vision, strategy, and goals. The book is being very warmly received so far and the content of the book appears to be resonating with people, both in terms of the early reviews and interviews, but also through sold out events like the recent one in Toronto. The book is very accessible and is focused on helping organizations identify and remove barriers to innovation. To find out more about what we’ll be covering in the hour, please see:

I’d like to invite you all to attend this session free of charge – and hope that you’ll enjoy the typically very informative, energetic and lively discussion and debate for which #innochat is known for.

If you’ve never attended one of these type of debates on twitter – the process is simple: At the prescribed time (#innochat meets every Thursday at Noon EST (-5:00 GMT) ) – login to your twitter application of choice (Tweetchat is popular), and do a search for posts with “#innochat” in them. By making sure that all posts have “#innochat” in their contributions, participants are able to have a mass live discussion on great topics like innovation.

I look forward to chatting with you about the book on Thursday!
