New Innovators at Work.

The NYT writes about Johnny Chung Lee and the nature of innovation in an Internet age. Lee became well known last year for developing a way to create cheap virtual reality. His web site. He used YouTube to do research and to promote his ideas. It a prime and instructive example of open innovation and of the potential of Connect & Develop style methods. Driven by the Web. Now Lee is at Microsoft's Applied Innovation Group, hope his creativity continues in a corporate setting. On that topic, see HBR's blog: Is Management the Enemy of Creativity?
