Moneyball and Management Innovation. Before I go any further, though, I have to point out a blog post that I already know is better than the one I’m writing here, and it covers the the game-changing lessons in Moneyball. It’s written by Olivier Blanchard, author of the book Social Media ROI and the Brandbuilder blog.

Many of these new “associations” began as a byproduct of an individual building their personal brand with the help of an innovative tool like Slack. Read our blog for tips to get started. Because of this, the associations don’t view themselves as traditional member-based organizations, so they are playing by different rules.

Kudos to Amanda Kaiser at the Smooth the Path blog for recently voicing typically heretical thoughts in the association community. Or improving member engagement with no strategy for innovation or change. Failing demoralizes the team and makes us more risk adverse. Over time we become caught in a downward spiral.

image source I read this interesting post by Michael Schrage on the HBR blog this week. This is a big problem because, as Schrage says: "Breakthrough" innovation depends less on design thinking and user experience than how well your lead users/early adopters “brand” your breakthroughs in the mind of the marketplace. It got me thinking.

Respect your thought leaders’ creativity and allow enough flexibility to stimulate innovation. These ideas may be obvious to association staff, but they may not be clear to the pundits you hope to attract. Review expense policies, conflict of interest, or any other relevant policies or ethical issues.

Theres a really critical lesson for association professionals in this guest post on Hugh MacLeods blog from Kathy Sierra. That we so easily refer to a customer with a bagel punch card or virtual badge as more “loyal” is an example of just how far we’ve allowed corporations to abuse the language around human relationships.
