Sometimes the Innovative Solution to Your Problem Already Exists, You Just Need to Find It - NASA

NASA, one of the biggest leaders in innovation, discusses how they allow their 20000 participants in their crowdsourced innovation program, NASA @ work, helps people save millions of dollars and time by communicating across different departments potentially in different timezones. Carissa Callina, Ryon Stewart, and Jeff Doi in this podcast teach us how they get and keep their community involved, how they move the process along, and the kinds of incentives they give out as rewards that aren't monetary. The innovation team helps NASA completely transform, as how the organization did things ten years ago is completely different from how NASA @ work is run today. According to Stewart and others at NASA, innovation is "1% inspiration, 99% perspiration".
