For various reasons – and connections – I’ve just spent a bit of time reading the work of the NESTA Connect team in the UK. One of the blog entries had a link to a fascinating event in the USA called the Triple Helix. The aim of the event is to encourage a model of innovation that looks across sectors to seek the collision points. With a heavy bent on collaboration, both the NESTA blog posting and the Triple Helix website are fascinating reads.
Thanks for dropping by Roger. Glad you found the Connect and Triple Helix stuff interesting. I love the principle of fringe scanning – hard to do but essential (if you subscribe to the Ron Burt ideas of structural holes etc which I do). Cheers, Roland
