New Years Wish for 2008

This past week I have been doing what has become an annual ritual for me.  I took the week from Christmas to New Years off and enjoyed a mini-retreat.  It is good to unplug, unwind, and use the time to reconnect, reflect, and replan.

The past year has been pretty full.  It has had its lows (the loss of my mother), but it has also had some great highs.

We have a new member of our household.  Robbie, pictured above at 12 weeks, is now eight months old and rapidly approaching ninety pounds.  He is a very smart Berner-boy and is a joy every minute.

Professionally, it has been a year of validation.  The clients I work with in the global 2000 companies are demonstrating a growing appreciation for the importance and value of developing sustainable innovation practices as a primary engine for building corporate value.  With my research and development teams, we’ve also built awesome innovation tools for designers and engineers.

In the blogosphere, Innovating To Win is nearing its first anniversary.  So far, it has been a terrific first year, and I think it will be great in ’08.  I have also made many friends in the process—people who have engaged in the conversation, provided grist for the mill, or in other ways shown their support.  Among these are:

Dominic Basulto, Jim Belfiore, Navneet Bhushan, Kevin Brune, Sheila Busby, Graziano Casale, Jeff De Cagna, Jen Chan, Ellen Domb, Julie Fleischer, Ken Flowers, John Hunter, Sobana Iyengar, Erich Joachimsthaler, Michael Kaufman, Katie Konrath, Jeff Lindsay, Lauchlan Mackinnon, Steve Mann, Jeffrey Phillips, Mark Proffitt, Cass Purcell, Daniel Scocco, Paul Simister, Tina Su, Fernando Vallejo, Paul Williams, Tory Worman, Chuck Yorke, Alex Zakharov, Corey, Maz, and Michael (aka Diver Tomsen).

Thank you all for the conversation.

Best wishes for a happy, healthy, prosperous, and innovation filled New Year!

Are you making innovation resolutions for 2008?
