If you look at history, innovation doesn't come just from giving people incentives; it comes from creating environments where their ideas can connect.
Any institution faces two basic choices if they hope to spark new ideas. One is to leverage the brains trust within their organization by creating a special event dedicated to new thinking. The other is to look outside themselves to stimulate solutions.
Every once in a while, a new technology, an old problem, and a big idea turn into an innovation.
But innovation comes from people meeting up in the hallways or calling each other at 10:30 at night with a new idea, or because they realized something that shoots holes in how we've been thinking about a problem.

In any industry, the people with the freshest ideas usually come from outside.
