Soaking Up The Learning: BIF-5 Blogroll

Christine Flanagan
October 9, 2009

Boundary-breaking, silo-jumping, diversity-crazed headcases. That's who catayzes change. Despite the continued turmoil of our economy, the ongoing battles around education and healthcare reform, and the daunting task ahead for so many companies to rebuild from near-death, optimism prevailed during the past 48 hours. Innovators are a unique bunch. The glass is ALWAYS half full.

What follows is an assortment of blog posts generated this week from many members of our audience (and one very special storyteller who is also a masterful live blogger. (That's you @ethanz!) I'm sure there are more out there. Please email me at cflanagan@businessinnovationfactory.com and I'll get your link posted in this roundup asap.

Thanks again to everyone who helped make BIF-5 such a mind-blowing experience. My own thoughts, which will include a recap of my experience working with Bill Buxton to find the inventor of the blackboard will be posted next week.
