Following my previous post, I have been considering the question of how hope and innovation are connected. The National Innovation Initiative has this interesting statement in its report:

America, in the end, is all about hope. And innovation is the societal and economic manifestation of hope.

I agree. But what is it that makes the manifestation possible? I believe that the change-agent is ISmarts. Different persons may have the same hope, but the hope will manifest itself in different innovations because of the different kinds of intelligence-driven innovational capabilities that we discuss in the ISmarts framework.

So one can say, ISmarts transforms Hope into Innovation.
