I'm forwarding this from another group. I think it's something this
community might be interested in:
Cognate with the notion of a National Design Policy, advanced at the
recent US National Design Policy Summit organized by Dori Tunstall, is
the concept of a new US Department of Innovation. Now we have a
chance to create one.
On Change.org, the website created by the Obama Transition team to
solicit new ideas for the next four years, Alain Rostain has proposed
the creation of a Department of Innovation. The proposal has 53 votes
and requires 24 more to ascend to the next, penultimate round of
considerations. The comments in response to Rostain’s proposal,
usually positive, are fascinating in their own right — but so is the
realization that, by our casting our votes (much as we would on Digg),
we might be creating a high-level public institution to nurture and
grow good ideas like a National Design Policy:

I urge you to visit the website, consider Alain’s proposal, and if it
appeals, to vote for the creation of the US Department of Innovation.
You can also read many other interesting innovations on Change.org
Cheers!

In theory, theory and practice are the same.
In practice, they are not.
