An interesting article from ZD Net this week around the ways the organization can stifle innovation, through overwrought process and beaurocracy.

Check it out here.

 Thanks to an innovative approach to government and seemingly setting aside "politics as usual" with the new administration, Obama successfully made the word "trasnparency" kitchen table conversation. I'll bet we're all hearing about it a lot more at work these days, much like this blogger at The HR Capitalist

Other folks in Social Media have been talking about this for quite some time. And while we all wish we had the reach of a presidential candidacy in all of our varying campaigns, that's just not the case.

 So, before we get entirely burnt out on the buzz word, as The HR Capitalist suggests, let's talk about how the one thing begets the other - how is transparency helping your organization to innovate? Is it part of your arsenal in succeeding with workplace flexibility, or managing a flexible team? We sure think it should be. Tell us about it.
