Dan Keldsen interviewing Dr. Alex Pattakos and Elaine Dundon, of The Innovation Group based out of Sante Fe, New Mexico (www.SeedsOfInnovation.com and www.SeedsOfMeaning.com). Does your organization, or for that matter, you, have fertile ground to plant the seeds of Innovation? Is it possible to innovate in the public sector? (hint, yes!) How does the drive to meet quarterly numbers drive out, or possibly, foster, innovation in a publicly held company? What is the process or processes that support sustainable innovation, and how can you find the beginning thread within your organization to fully embed innovation in yourself and your organization?
