Information Overload and Demand for More Information:

“A new attitude toward seeking out and stockpiling information was the crucial cause of the information explosion, more significant than any particular new discovery.”

Can Innovation be a

Science?“In many respects, innovation can and should be defined by the ability of an

organization, individual or culture to create and provide linkages between many diverse and often unrelated domains and specialties – to create a new net good.

If you will, the innovator is the polymath of the information age.

Innovation Science would therefore be the process whereby an organization, an individual or a culture learns to use innovation tools and techniques to embrace an

ideal of change.

Innovation Science supplies theories, processes, methodologies and tools to organize and exploit this knowledge store.”
