Introducing the (still) new Corante Innovation Hub!
Posted by Renee Hopkins Callahan
Sorry for the long silence...it had to do with a number of factors, including the launch of the new Corante Innovation Hub. You may remember that IdeaFlow has been part of Corante's Marketing Hub (and still is). Now, we've pulled together the best and brightest blogging minds writing about innovation and creativity from many different perspectives. I am lead editor for the new hub's editorial blog, along with Paul Williams from Idea Sandbox. It's been my pleasure to help choose the invited blogs, and it continues to be my pleasure to read their posts and to write about them. If you have not seen the new Corante Innovation Hub, please visit!
I'm thrilled every time I see the list of the 21 bloggers and blogs that are participating. This list says more about the Corante Innovation Hub than I could! Here's the complete list of the bloggers and blogs:
