The eventual goal is to embed that vibrant community right here in this space, but for now we would like to encourage you to participate in the following experiments.

MRT Plus

MRTPlus.com is based on a “private label” social network platform. This site features blogs, conference updates, discussion forums, videos and more focused on topics such as lean product development, roadmapping, metrics and more.

The Open Innovation Community

The Open Innovation community is another "private label" social network that is solely on Open Innovation. This site will feature community generated content that will help grow the Open Innovation body of knowledge. Please be sure to visit this site -- and be sure to contribute.

We welcome your input in this process. We want to make something that people will find valuable and time efficient. Please feel free to contact us with your suggestions and comments.

Thanks,
