I got the sense that clients were very directed to solve explicit business goals, not just gathering ideas for the sake of having them. And there is a reasonable ROI story that you craft from managing this process -- something that E2.0 folks have a harder time articulating. (I'm not saying we can't, but we have to admit that we don't have clarity or consistency yet.) Whereas innovation vendors and advocates were more abstract. I think this industry needs a more vertical focus, since there is too much diversity of needs to be coherent. Sameer,
Thanks. I got the sense that clients were very directed to solve explicit business goals, not just gathering ideas for the sake of having them. And there is a reasonable ROI story that you craft from managing this process — something that E2.0 folks have a harder time articulating.

Did you get the sense that maybe there's no clear goal for some of these innovation endeavors, leading to rudderless initiatives? I get the value of serendipity and the need to allow for emergent idea generation. But maybe some structure or stated alignment with an mission or strategy might help? Gil
