Last week's BrainTrain2006 has ended as successfully as 2005's. There is no longer any doubt that these two days of systematic innovation will remain an annual event…with one exception.  2007 will be BrainTrain-less! The weather, that Force Majeure that even innovation cannot solve, has convinced us to move the conference to the springtime.  So we look forward to seeing everyone again on March 12-13, 2008.

This year's participants - executives passionate about innovation - convened and learned not only tools and principles of Systematic Inventive Thinking, but also new and exciting ways to promote and implement innovation in their organizations. As one Marketing VP wrote earlier this week:

"It is not easy to get me out of the office, and I thank you and all the facilitators not only for the time away from the workplace, but also for the feeling upon my return to it that the time was well-spent for a worthwhile and valuable cause – both in terms of creating opportunities for participants to share best practices with each other and in terms of the content and tools we all received."  

BrainTrain2006, like the one before it, was an original initiative of SIT and FAZA (http://www.faza.co.il/) bringing together managers from diverse worlds to an interactive event wholly dedicated to practical innovation.
