"I Speak from a position of relative ignorance, but one area of focus has to be education."

"An innovative corporate culture is one where there is a diversity of informed point of views. The more you have a widespread and diverse educated workforce (women, ethinicities, social class), the greater your chances of an environmnt that allows you to come up with truly innovative ideas."
