Ran across a Forrester "call to arms" looking at the innovation market space. Many people in my network should hop on to the blog post and make sure you have mentioned your company and solutions to Chris. I added a few, and of course dropped a line for our new company, Information Archiected. Is your Information Architected for Innovation? I certainly hope so! And if not, well, I have some ideas that should help.

So, innovators - get thee to Forrester to help them scope the space, and please, comment to my blog post/bookmark to let me know you've done so. Want to set up briefings as we head into 2009 so I'm fully aware of what you're all bringing to market!
