Finding Your Innovation Inspiration

Innovation is the driving force behind business. For many people it’s the reason they started a company altogether. There’s a thrill in thinking up the next big idea, and breathing life into a product or service that revolutionizes the way we think and live. Then again, innovation doesn’t always have to be HUGE, as long as you’re solving a problem or meeting a need in a new way it still counts.

No matter how you define it, innovation begins with the germ of an idea. Genius is not required, rather all you need do is drop your pre-conceived notions, and open yourself up to new experiences. Here are a few ideas to get your brain matter sparking:

1) Start with yourself. Keep a notepad in your pocket and make a note of everyday products or tasks that either frustrate you, or take up an absorbent amount of time. If it’s causing you headaches, chances are you’re not alone.

2) Look to your hobbies. Look and the tools used and products you buy for your hobbies. Why do you like them? What makes them better then the ones you don’t buy? Can they modified and applied to a different industry?

5 Reasons Why SMBs Should Not Ingnore Security

1. So they can sleep at night instead of worry about Conficker.

A lot of unscrupulous IT “professionals” made good money scaring their clients into paying for their network to be scanned for vulnerability for Conficker when really the network should not have been vulnerable in the first place. SMBs should not have to fear the next Internet disease; they should rest assured that they have made the right decision in hiring a professional IT firm that understands their business and manages the network to avoid the mad scramble.

2. Defending yourself against a sexual harassment lawsuit is no fun.

Audits on over 125 corporate and public sector networks in 2007 that 25.8% of the 10,000 PCs scanned contained digital pornography or other inappropriate images.
