Ed Morrison · BFD Learning Moment: Indiana’s Energy Systems Network
April 4th, 2009
After nine months of work, Indiana’s Energy Systems Network went public last week. An entire team of people were working on this initiative, including my colleagues and me from Purdue.
The network is working on a pipeline of Clean Tech projects. The first two:
The Hoosier Heavy Hybrid Partnership to develop hybrid trucks and buses; and Project Plug‐IN to integrate electric vehicles and ‘smart grid’ technologies.
Open innovation networks enable participants to align resources quickly around emerging market opportunities.
You can learn more about our network here.

George Nemeth · Step2 Teams with CWRU’s Schubert Center, Extols Value of Creative Play
June 30th, 2008

CreativePlayPlus.com has been launched by Streetsboro toy maker The Step2 Co. and the Schubert Center for Child Studies at Case Western Reserve University.
The first contributions to the blog include a discussion of pretend play and an invitation for parents to talk about how they’re keeping their kids busy during the summer months.
Disclosure: I work for Optiem, and was part of the team that developed the blog. I guess you could say I’m coaching the bloggers. Please check it out, link to it if you’d like, and add your comments to it. Thanks!
