      The serious question here is, how do you get across that innovation is about people rather than places, spaces, and objects? Innovation is not comfy chairs or sofas #OCLCEMEARC18

    How do you keep innovative, 'rule-breaking' staff in an organisation? If you have individual innovative staff members, you get a culture clash rather than a culture dissemination. They then get dissatisfied and move #OCLCEMEARC18

      At the risk of self-identifying as an "innovator", I tend to find that libraries hire me because I have exciting new ideas w/r/t library systems and deep technical skills but then management won't let me apply those new ideas practically.
