Smithsonian Storytelling and Innovation Weekend

I've started doing video blogs, or "blogcasts" or "vlogs" or some more palatable term yet to be invented. This one is with Steve Denning who leads the Smithsonian Associates storytelling and organization weekend every year. This year, May 8-10, 2008, the theme is one that is close to my heart, storytelling and innovation. I spent a great number of research hours on the nature of innovation, theories, principles and practices, and found that the narrative that underscores organizational action acts as the mythos through which new ideas are engaged and innovation occurs.

Unfortunately, day 1 is sold out, but day 2 and 3 are still open and can be found here.

Steve's website is here.
