A Good Story Can Change The World


On October 7th and 8th the Business Innovation Factory will bring together 30 storytellers from all walks of life to share their personal story of innovation. Join us for the BIF-5 Collaborative Innovation Summit for two days of rapid-fire storytelling. No keynotes. No corporate infomercials. Just real talk and great conversation about what it takes to create change.

Past and present storytellers include BIF bookgroup authors Jeff Jarvis, Jacqueline Novogratz and Steven Johnson.

For more information and to check out this year's fabulous lineup visit the BIF-5 site.

Welcome to the BIF Book Group

Welcome to the BIF Book Group! This community was launched in March, 2009 by Business Innovation Factory (BIF) chief catalyst Saul Kaplan. His idea: Our community of innovators loves to read, write, and share ideas about good books. We are also blessed with many authors in the BIF community. So why not start a book group?

Our structure is simple and straight-forward. In true BIF fashion, we will innovate as we grow. New members will always be welcome. Suggestions for books will come from our community. We will rotate facilitation responsibility to any member interested and enable all members to pose questions and share ideas with the group. When possible, we will interact directly with the author.

So let's get started. This month we're reading Jeff Jarvis' new book What Would Google Do?. Head to the discussion forum and see what we're talking about.

The Blue Sweater - Book Review

The Blue Sweater - book review

I spent a good part of my recent birthday stuck on airplanes, re-routed from connecting flights, and sitting on the tarmac instead of getting home. This was my first birthday since my mom died. This was a perfect set-up for self-pity.

Luckily for me, I was traveling with a Kindle full of reading and one actual book, Jacqueline Novogratz's The Blue Sweater. The upside of my endless date with United Airlines was that I read Novogratz's book in one sitting. And self… Continue
