Last week, Scott Berkun, author of 
(previosly published as The Art of Project Management) and 
, 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.
