Five Finalists - Innovation Insight Contest

In honor of the impact that Twitter has in democratizing information, Blogging Innovation is awarding a copy of the only business book I know of with a green cover - "Rethink" by Ric Merrifield - and a quick winner's profile on this blog, to the winner of the innovation insight contest.

The voters have spoken and we now have five finalists (as determined by your @reply and comment votes).

I now have the unenviable task of choosing a winner from amongst these five great entries and announcing the ONE (1) winner on July 2nd via my profile on Twitter and on this blog with a quick profile of the winner, their winning entry, and a link to their web site.

Here are the five finalists (ordered by number of votes received):

1. "90% of what we learn comes AFTER we launch a new product." - Eric Feng, CTO of Hulu - @veget


2. Question all rules. 1900 Olympics only 15 women took part. It was feared if she ran too fast her uterus would fall out. - @Journeywoman


3. Insight in a Marketing-driven company is hindsight, while Insight in Innovation-driven company is foresight. - @Lerou


4. Research is the transformation of money into knowledge - Innovation is the transformation of knowledge into money! - @Lerou


5. Implementing best practice is replicating yesterday; innovation is designing tomorrow. - @paulsloane
