Debates over terminology and semantics are for archivists and academics. If you’re interested in the living heart of what you do, focus on building things rather than talking about them.

We often think that innovation is all about new stuff, but I think that Freitas’ advice is sound – our innovation will be more successful if we focus on building. That’s part of why we talk so much about the importance of having a bias towards action.

Personally, I’m trying to build a network of people that use innovation to make both work and the world a better place – my hope is that through my work I can contribute to that.

What are you building?
