Turns out, going to conferences can lead to innovation , which is good news for the conference-producing association industry. Spend more time with your customers, talk to them more, experiment, learn, iterate, get better. Want to be more productive? More data isn't necessarily going to improve your decision making.

Innovation is not (or not always, anyway) about the visionary. You always have a choice. You might not always like the consequences, but you always have a choice. More often, it's about (say it with me) culture. Here's how. Building a better mousetrap won't help if there are no mice.

One of his notes from a panel on "innovation all the time" was: Genius isn’t hidden. That's a critical question for all of us to address. Jamie also asked the blogging community to think about the points raised at the conference and to write response posts. This is one. It’s afraid of your processes. Associations do this all the time.
