NOTIONS OF INNOVATION from Google

Share everything you can
Every idea, every project, every deadline -- it's all accessible to everyone on the intranet

You're brilliant, we're hiring
Founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin approve hires. They favor intelligence over experience

A license to pursue dreams
Employees get a "free" day a week. Half of new launches come from this "20% time"

Innovation, not instant perfection
Google launches early and often in small beta tests, before releasing new features widely

Creativity loves restraint
Give people a vision, rules about how to get there, and deadlines

Don't kill projects -- morph them
There's always a kernel of something good that can be salvaged
