Propagation of Innovation
Borrowing from the thinking of OpenIDEO, Seth Godin's Linchpin, Clay Shirky's Cognitive Surplus, and building on an emerging topic in the advertising industry (google "Propagation Planning"):
How might we propagate innovative thinking and collective contribution to emerging ideas and design challenges? How to initiate and lead these communities? How to engage stakeholders? How to resource the community?

This strikes a chord with me although I might have read this to suit my interests.
I want provide an open, professional learning community (for business analysts) which enables the huge, diverse knowledge of the community to be shared.
Challenge: how do you provide the contributors with the (design) tools to share their knowledge and experience to suit their audience's needs? (i.e. how do you ensure they become excellent educators?)
Have I missed the point of the original comment? -

Hi Scott - these are really interesting questions. I can see how they could reveal perspectives that would be useful thinking hats for finding market traction.
To help make this more tangible to others in the discussion, would you like to share what inspired you to suggest this? Is there a particular opprtunity or challenge you have that led you to this space?
