Berkun on Innovation

Last week, Scott Berkun, author of Making Things Happen: Mastering Project Management (previosly published as The Art of Project Management) and The Myths of Innovation, gave a one hour Webcast called "How progress happens: the down and dirty truths and secrets that make innovation possible".  I thought is was great.  Scott did not delve into the "how" of being being innovative.  Scott's contention is that people, humans, by nature are innovative.  It was not about tools, methodologies or technologies.  Scott's talk focused on the challenges innovative people face and gave tips for  driving innovation in your life, company or organization.

You can watch the recording on the O'Reilly webcast page or view it in higher resolution on the O'Reilly YouTube channel.
