We've been shaking up the Twitter chat medium of late. This week's innochat no exception as it is a live radio show on BlogTalk radio with Lea Carey and Drew Marshall interviewing author of  "How Stella Saved the Farm" by Chris Trimble.

We'll be taking questions both live and on the air and from Twitter through the duration of the hour.

We'll be taking a broad view of innovation execution as it relates to Chris's latest book.

After last week's chat on May 2, @wbendle started a discussion in the Innochat LinkedIn group about spring and innovation. Of course, we had the famous Thunderbolts and Lightning chat about innovation and weather back in December, so this wasn't our first meteorological theme.

What is the role of ideas in innovation?

Ideas play a major role in most discussions of innovation and, particularly, of the management of innovation. Many approaches seem to be based on a model in which all innovation is triggered by ideas. Is this true? Is this an accurate representation of the reality of innovation? If it is accurate, is it complete? And does it cover all cases?

We tend to think that robustness or resilience are the opposites of fragility. Not so!  Lacking adaptability and flexibility, robust systems are often fragile in their own way, and they tend to weaken over time.  Resilient systems resist shocks and may stay functional, but don't improve over time.

One of the big pushes in the personal productivity movement is the strict approach to prioritization. Eliminate everything that is not essential to your progress and focus on those one or two things you need to accomplish here and now. A narrow perspective will help you accelerate your project and will result in you To Do list becoming a Have Done list with great rapidity. This seems like solid enough advice, except it is born from a mindset that prizes productivity over creativity and action over reflection.

As I am writing this it is late on Day 5 of the 2013 version of SXSW Interactive, where I and approximately 27,000 (official estimate) others have been to dozens of sessions on work, productivity, startups, design, software, and a variety of other topics.

SXSW has become a very big tent under which lots of ideas fly on trapezes....!

I've been live-tweeting and have also done my best to take notes on sessions that had a lot to offer to innocats.  So this week I will moderate a session on what I learned about innovation at SXSW. This will likely include:
