Just last week as part of the McDreamy workshops, I dusted off my copy of Night Line's 1999 DeepDive featuring the redesign process for the traditional shopping cart from the Palo Alto-based IDEO. It is one of my all time favorites for introducing innovative work process concepts. I finally got around to opening the new issue of Fast Company, and learned that IDEO rounds out the top 5 on the list of the World's Most Innovative Companies. They are right up there with Google, Apple and GE. Pretty cool... and my favorite Amazon landed at 9, and Target is right up there at 17.
Check out the complete list, it is fun. More importantly, it begs the question... how can libraries break down our traditional committee/operating structures and behave more like the companies on this list. It's time for us to start McDreaming... eh?
