How do you foster a culture of innovation and creativity in your team?
To innovate, understand that nothing will work perfectly the first time. Developing a new idea is a maze of ideation, testing, learning, and repeating. The key to success is keeping the following points in mind during the innovation process: 1. Stop talking about It and do something. Make a prototype. Talk to users. Hack something together to test with customers. Just do something. 2. Don't over invest in the beginning. Invest as little time, money and effort as possible to legitimately test your thesis. Recognize quickly if it's a good or bad idea. 3. Be honest and objective with yourself. If it's a bad idea, you'll know. Pivot. If it's a good idea, accelerate the velocity. Innovating puts you and your company on the offensive.

System and method of placing a search listing in at least one search result list
Issued US 20050004835
A system and method is provided for qualifying search listings for placement in at least one search result list and ordering the search listings according to an algorithm. Specifically, a searching device is adapted to received items of information, such as search listings (e.g., www.yahoo.com, etc.), search terms (e.g., "cars," "beauty supplies," etc.) and monetary amounts (e.g., $1.00, etc.), from a plurality of promoting devices, receive a search inquiry (i.e., a search term) from a…
A system and method is provided for qualifying search listings for placement in at least one search result list and ordering the search listings according to an algorithm. Specifically, a searching device is adapted to received items of information, such as search listings (e.g., www.yahoo.com, etc.), search terms (e.g., "cars," "beauty supplies," etc.) and monetary amounts (e.g., $1.00, etc.), from a plurality of promoting devices, receive a search inquiry (i.e., a search term) from a reception device, and provide (in response thereto) at least one search result list including search listings (i) associated with the search inquiry and (ii) qualified for placement in the search result list. In other words, if the search term linked to the search listing is the same as (or substantially similar to) the search inquiry, then the first prong is met. Furthermore, if a predetermined number of monetary amounts (i.e., as linked to a predetermined number of search listings associated with the search inquiry) are not higher than the monetary amount linked to the search listing, then the second prong is met and the search listing is qualified for placement. Thus, only a predetermined number of search listings (e.g., three, five, etc.) that are both (i) associated with the search inquiry and (ii) linked to the highest monetary amounts are qualified for placement in the search result list. Once the search listings are qualified for placement in the search result list, the searching device is adapted to arrange the qualified search listings according to an algorithm (e.g., randomly, according to relevance, according to monetary amounts, etc.).
