Event: Beyond the Crisis: Debating the role of innovation

At Innovation Forum Beyond the Crisis: Debating a more innovative future on Monday 2 March in London we will ask some profound questions: about the roots of the crisis, the need for ambition, the role of (and barriers to) innovation, the role of the network, and the potential of new areas of thinking. And we want your responses to these questions: responses that are big, bold, original and thought provoking. (And if you want to disagree with the analysis presented here, please go ahead!)

We would like you to publish a response to one or a number of the event themes online, as a blog post, an article, a letter to a newspaper, a video. To alert us to your response you can either:

• Post a link to it in a comment on this post
• Tag it ‘InnovationBeyondCrisis’ [See current tagged material on Technorati]
• (If your response is posted on a Weblog) Include a trackback to this post: see TrackBack URL for this entry, below

Keep your responses concise, clear and snappy. The authors of the best of the responses will be invited to give a 3-4 minute ‘stump' speech at the event, to stimulate discussion and debate. The event will to an open and frank discussion, with the ideas and debates visualised.

We have created an overview of the responses received to date in the Preparation section of the event page. Reviewing these will help you to prepare for the discussion. (These responses related to all the comments below.)

We look forward to debating these responses on Monday 2 March.
