Crowdsourcing Innovation Definition on Twitter

Just today I came across a very interesting blog post about someone who used Twitter to crowdsource the best definition for innovation. By using the #IDEF140 hash-tag, users could submit their suggestions.

Here are the first five:

  1. @futurescape
    Innovation is a simple idea, executed well and adopted widely.
  2. @mikebrown
    Innovation – The magic of imagining, implementing, & improving upon what’s been done before to benefit others.
  3. @Macker
    Innovation is clarification, ideation, solutions development and implementation (read, action). It is only as hard as DOING it.
  4. @wwcasey
    Innovation is the combination of creativity (the idea), design (making it real), and implementation (making it available).
  5. @innovate
    Innovation transforms useful seeds of invention into solutions valued above every existing alternative.

Although this post is almost six months old, the results are pretty interesting. Worth the visit.
