Credit Card Shenanigans
It must be great to be in the credit card business in the United States. Demand is relatively inelastic and regulation is lax, so you can charge whatever you want for an interest rate, increase your fees once or twice a year, and make additional money off cash withdrawals and foreign exchange transactions.

Building an Experience
As people become ever more immune to traditional advertising and marketing, branding will become more important. Branding is all about building an emotional connection with customers. Making the decision to follow a strategy focused on building a brand is not without peril, however, as it means that you will have to choose to not do certain things, like pursue a low price strategy.

I recommend Prof. Frank T. Piller, professor of management at the RWTH Aachen University and one of the world’s leading scholars for open innovation and mass customization. His blog mass-customization.de (on both MC and OI) and his frequent tweets at @masscustom are suited to keep you up on speed about everything any MC/OI enthusiast needs to know.
In terms of innovation, I focus on innovation in educationally-related technologies — see

I nominate JR Reagan, Deloitte’s Federal Chief Innovation Officer, an innovator and frequent speaker on innovation topics. JR specializes in lightweight innovation and prototyping to assist clients with envisioning the ‘art of the possible’. JR serves as Senior Professional Faculty at Johns Hopkins University and has given guest lectures on Innovation and Solutions Development at Harvard University, Northwestern Kellogg and University of South Carolina.

@prototypetoday
With a bashful shuffle of the feet, @PhiBetaIota, for pressing forward with Open Source Everything Manifesto (https://tinyurl.com/OSE-ALL).
I’ll nominate @imaginatik – lots to see there in the coming weeks/months!
Hey Braden, thanks for valuing folks who live and foster change through innovation!
As I thought about your delightful challenge I thought the tag “innovation” could be used in every blog or article I publish, and saw you as part of that inspiration.
Because of your own brain compatible practices — such as rallying up innovative leaders like you did here — I vote for your talents to top such a list!
Here is a post which shows how you still impact my MBA students in a course I designed and teach – Called, LEAD INNOVATION WITH THE BRAIN IN MIND. My interview re your book spotlights why I nominate your blog with honors.
It will be fun to read results!
Stay blessed! Ellen
I vote for your blog Braden – and the reasons are at https://bit.ly/aS6rJ2
Good luck! Ellen
My go-to guy for informative tweets on innovation, a topic I write about a lot, is @stefanlindegaard. He is writing about where the future of innovation is headed. People need to take notice.
His Twitter – Name is @lindegaard not @stefanlindegaard 😉
All the best!

Claudia Megele (@claudiamegele)has introduced the use of social media, twitter in particular, to the heart of the social work community, creating a welcoming, interesting and universally welcoming space within which professionals/service users/anybody can debate and discuss issues which effect them. Claudia introduced the @swscmedia debates and her selfless work continues apace. She should most certainly be on this list, if not a the top of it!
I nominate @innovation360
Sameer Sortur
I would like to nominate Claudia Megele (@claudiamegele) for her innovative use of Twitter to bring together the Social Work community and provide a platform which is exciting, stimulating and diverse where all can debate and contribute on a level with the @swscmedia deates.

thank you Dr. Ellen for the wonderful recognition. Even though I just met you on Twitter, I look forward to sharing information.
so I would like to nominate you @ellenfweber as a wonderful innovator of social media and Twitter!
I nominate @innovation360
I nominate Ellen Weber @ellenfweber Most of her tweets relate to innovation and almost ever post on her awesome blog ( https://www.brainleadersandlearners.com/) is focused on innovation although she doesn’t use that label.
I recommend Marjolein Caniels, @MCCOUNL
Prof. Organisational Learning Open University of the Netherlands. Area: Innovation, Learning, Economics, Creativity.
https://marjoleincaniels.blog.com/
Her tweets are inspiring and mention a lot of art and creativity that touches innovation.
I nominate Ellen Weber @ellenfweber and Robyn McMaster @robynmcmaster as outstanding female innovators who both tweet and blog content that is focused on innovation for leadership/career development (incorporating the latest developments in neuroscience, psychology, business and more).
I nominate @ellenfweber and @njsmyth. Ellen tips ideas upside down and sees the world differently than many people.
@njsmyth is a game-changer in higher education. She has brought much innovation to University of Buffalo.
I could definitely have done more than fifty. There were a lot of great nominations. Thank you to everyone who took the time to add a comment to the nominations article or send me one via twitter.
Keep innovating! 🙂
