Couple of interesting pieces about games/computers and their relation to the brain to point out...
- A piece, in Wired, about how technology is moving on how we might be able to control computer with our brains...brain typing anyone
- And a piece here, on BBC Online, on using games to train your brain and even increase your IQ
And here's an example which might be a result of such brain-stretching:
An internal market of proposals within an organisation in which:
"any employee can propose that the company acquire a new technology, enter a new business or make an efficiency improvement. These proposals become stocks, complete with ticker symbols, discussion lists and e-mail alerts. Employees buy or sell the stocks, and prices change to reflect the sentiments of the company's engineers, computer scientists and project managers — as well as its marketers, accountants and even the receptionist"
Apparently, innovation is no longer about creative visionaries at the top of a company, but about who has the best of 'architecture of participation'. Which is a neat way of saying that you should let employees at all level make suggestions and submit ideas....
