Innovation Labs

I've just become aware of an article that was published back in November 2005 in BusinessWeek Magazine. It's called "Mosh Pits" Of Creativity: Innovation labs are sparking teamwork -- and breakthrough products.

It's a great article and points to a growning trend of companies employing new environments and processes for breakthrough products and services - and even calling them innovation labs.

Speaking of which, St. Petersburg College in St. Petersburg, Florida has recently opened a Collaboration Lab on campus. This facility, co-located in the Epicenter with the college's Corporate Training department and the St. Petersburg Visitors and Convention Bureau, would position the College as a strategic partner and community resource for the entire St. Pete/Tampa area.
