We found the system an excellent approach to developing innovative ideas from customers, service agents, engineers and sales staff. The normal brainstorming method is only a distant second in comparison to his innovation process.

"...I was the moderator for your session. I have to say that you presentation was fantastic and everyone though it was the highlight of the two day event....
I have spoken to the divisional deputy secretaries about holding a departmental workshop on innovation/opportunities, you would be the ideal person to present to the department.
I have also spoken to the state AusIndustry office and they would also like to come along. They also have an event coming up that could use your presence. I also think that there is an opportunity to run an industry event either in conjunction with the DEDT or as a separate event.
We will be in touch shortly...."
