    Sorry to be a party-pooper, but I think the graph is mislabeled.

    The X axis is time, not “let’s do something viral”. “Let’s do something viral” is a subset of the “let’s do something innovative” mindset. (And often wrongly included, at that).

    Umm. Between the first two bullets you need to put, “The IT department will not let me go to that site.” Then delete the legal bullet and replace it with, “IT shot down the idea.”

    Good stuff.

    Brent,

    I think some may have missed your point…....and while doing so, also helped you make it.

    You had a great idea – something you wanted to share and people picked it apart to try and kill it.

    Sad. D.

    Ryan, Do you work at our office? LOL

    Anyone ever see the cartoon where the guy presents the committee a peacock and after everyone “adds their two cents” he’s left with a beat up mangy pigeon?

    Tell ya, I live in those meetings.
