Outside Innovation: The “New Work” of the IT Architect: Innovation Labs and Incubators

Timely snapshot from Patty Seybold.  I had the privilege of participating in her Pioneers group during 2000 - 2001 and always found the group's perspectives and projections fascinating; see her post for a summary. 

Last week I enjoyed my semi-annual “whack on the side of the head” meeting with my Pioneers—our lead users who are veteran technology and business architects. This small band has been gathering twice a year since the early ’90s. What they have in common is a way they view themselves and the world. This worldview evolves over time, of course, but there seem to be some basic principles that are wired into their nervous systems/perceptual filters.
