The Inovo Innovation Wiki is to discover, create, gather and disseminate knowledge about the innovation process. The innovation process consists of those activities, methods and practices, along with their associated tools, that result in new-to-the-world things that people desire and value. The Innovation Process occurs every day, whether we realize it or not. It can be an ad hoc, unstructured, unplanned and random process, or it can be one that is structured, planned, and organized. This Wiki is concerned with the latter type of innovation process.

Rules of Engagement

This Wiki is intended to be a forum for a broad and deep dialog on innovation with a decidedly Inovo flavor. We are using a Wiki because it is the most useful, flexible and appropriate form of communication and interaction. We encourage interesting and insightful contributions and especially appreciate the skeptical and contrartian perspective. There are a few rules and guidelines:

• Anyone is welcome to make comments on anything
  
• We strongly discourage superficial, mean, and personal comments and will eliminate them
• If you wish to contribute - contact us. Contributors are welcome but vetted
• We strongly encourage an additive approach - don't delete, add - if you disagree, say why
  
• Distinguish between opinion and fact, know the difference between knowledge and truth
• Certain pages will be locked when they represent the 'Inovo Way'. Constructive criticism is appreciated.
