We're big fans of Umair Haque here at OneEyeDeer. His work on edge competencies, networks, communities and markets helped drive the creation of OneEyeDeer.
His insights into what's wrong with business today and how it can be fixed has further inspired us to continue our work.
Umair recently presented at the Daytona Sessions. You can check out the video HERE.
It's a long talk - just over an hour - but it goes through several key points meaning that you can watch it in sections.
I have a feeling that sometime in the future someone will be looking at this post (is that you?) and will check out the video and think - that's so obvious! Well let me tell you, at the time I'm writing this, the ideas, despite their obviousness, are perceived as radical.
Then again, if you're reading this post from the future and saying Umair's thoughts are obvious, then the world will be a much better place than it is now - so happy days :)

Minister for Innovation Kim Carr Mentions User-Led Innovation
In case you don't know, I'm also the founder/editor of an Australian-focused tech startup news/reviews blog called TechNation Australia.
Last week I posted a story on that blog about a speech that Kim Carr, Federal Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research, gave at the National Press Club. That post focused on a small portion of Mr. Carr's talk, but there were some other very interesting things he had to say.
For instance, during that speech it was great to hear Mr Carr speak of trying to borrow some of Europe's strategic innovation initiatives here in Australia including a special reference to user-led innovation policy in Denmark.
As we all know, words are one thing, actions another, particularly when it comes to politics. But it's still good to know that the head of innovation in Australia is at least aware of the potential of user-led innovation.
