Are you an R&D glazomanic?Glazomania is the obsession with list creating. Drew Marshall wondered if the innovation industry is becoming too glazomanic, and debated the point in this week’s innochat where he queried the current obsession with making innovation leader boards.

  4.    What can learn and apply from this information to our own practices as innovation thought leaders?
