Great article in downloadable (.pdf) format from Stanford.edu about how to "...systemize innovation..." (Hargadon & Sutton).

The article makes suggestions about how organizations can benefit from a constant flow of new ideas by implementing and efficient "idea-generating process". 

I agree that brilliant ideas are worthless if one cannot implement them to benefit anybody. An individual's genius is irrelevant without the strong collaboration of those who can help implement it and translate it into a valuable commodity to benefit others.

All the best,
