		<description><![CDATA[Innovation projects have many risks. Some of these risks are controlled with project management techniques. Other risks are assumed unavoidable. Staged Gate attempts to limit the impact of the risks by setting up regular intervals to fail and start over. That is a fancy way of saying trial and error. Predictive Innovation&#174; can prevent the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Right click and select Save As to download. Yesterday I was told, &#8220;Innovation isn&#8217;t predictable. If it was predictable then they would already be doing it.&#8221; That statement shows why most people can&#8217;t innovate. Every assumption was wrong. Innovation is Predictable. Innovation MUST BE Predictable. Innovation isn&#8217;t about new. Its about satisfying peoples unmet desires. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love impossible problems. Am I insane? That is hotly debated. But the reason I love impossible problems is there are so many possible innovations in every impossible problem. In fact there are at least 225 possible solutions to most seemingly impossible problems. That&#8217;s a lot of innovation. Very little is truly impossible. Most seemingly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the Detroit area the economy has been brutal. A bunch of people have been laid off. Many would have loved 6 months of warning but the truth is almost everyone that&#8217;s been laid off had much more than 6 months warning and they didn&#8217;t do anything.
