Recently both BusinessWeek and Fast Company published their respective 50 most innovative companies list. I have “mashedup” both lists in the chart below and edited the lists a bit. (Where there is overlap I indicate the difference in ranking order between lists.) There was much to garner from these lists, beyond the corporate rankings individually.

Yesterday I tweeted (@carlfrappaolo) about a Boston Globe article on ECM search company, Endeca.

Serendipitously, I am working on IAI’s soon to be released whitepaper [...]
