this story came through my RSS reader courtesy of the lovely Sarah Hougthon-Jan (the Librarian in Black).
last summer the folks at NASA’s Johnson Space Centre created a team to address innovation within the organization. the results of the analysis were presented in the form of a video, which was shown to managers last month. one of those managers has since uploaded the video to YouTube.
two things struck me after watching this video.
the first – kudos to NASA for investigating this within their organization and actively evaluating how innovation is being blocked.
the second – much of the behaviour in this video directly affects the information-sharing and knowledge management of the organization. No wonder they lost the original moonwalk tapes!

what is your organization, or you as an information professional, doing to increase innovation and remove barriers?
