		<description>Hey Tim.

Thanks for your positive commentary and compliments. 

Your comment: &#039;I thought is was just me!!&#039; is one of the key contributing factors behind the reluctance people have to put thier thoughts and ideas out in the public domain. Fear of rejection of one&#039;s creativity or way of thinking can equate to many lost opportunities to improve, simply because the ideas never see the light of day. &lt;a href=&quot;http://crowdcloud.wordpress.com/2008/10/29/keeping-the-crowd/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;This post speaks to that very point in great detail&lt;/a&gt; and I hope helps you to be more confident in sharing your passion for innovation and great ideas.

In terms of the very dire need today for some creative solutions to the fiscal pickle the world is in, people like us need to be promoting creativity and innovation as key business processes. At the moment, I think many still see creativity/innovation as last resort measures with no robust executive support or underpinning continuous improvement discipline.

Thanks again for your contribution Tim. Interesting post coming up soon on Ideas as a Commodity. Stay tuned.

		<description>Wow, really impressd with the breadth and depth of your knowledge. Your passion for true innovation and invention is a welcome relief as I thought is was just me!!
My role is testing innovations and inventions and finding out if they are viable, what&#039;s disappointing is the lack of people that have the confidence to try. I speak with hundreds of people every month and each one has a great idea, they just hide it away, In this economy I beg you Listen to Eric and get brainstorming, if you have an exisiting idea that you have always wanted to try but just not sure if it will work, contact me and I will help you. There are so many resources to assist in getting these products to market, so please keep up the innovation and drive us forward.</description>
