• The State of the Big Idea -- Fortune has an interesting essay on the investment in (or not) of "Big Ideas" in today's economy. "It doesn't matter what business climate you're in," says G.T. LaBorde, co-founder of MedMined, which helps hospitals keep track of infectious outbreaks. "If you have a service that really does deliver the value that you claim, and the value is measurable in real dollar returns, that is something you can probably sell in lots of different business environments."
Big ideas come from looking at the assumptions that everyone operates under, and finding a way to invalidate it. Classic TOC Thinking Process technique.
