First, let me say that it was incredibly hard to come up with this list. I’ve come across lots of great articles this year that I can’t find anymore. Luckily a lot of the really good innovation articles end up on our site, but for sure I’ve missed lots of great innovation articles published this year. So, apologies in advance if you thought your favorite article should have been included. You can always include it below as a comment.
