The Rest of Us Innovators, Early Adopters, and the Rest of Us Stephen Abram John BlybergLeah Krevit Leah Krevit Rice University Texas Library Association Annual Conference 2010
Provocation #1 Consensus makes innovation in libraries impossible ,[object Object]
By giving all group or staff members the right to block any idea or proposal, an organization can essentially be held hostage to an inflexible minority or an individual. The impact this has on a library's ability to create innovative library services can be significant since creative or alternative ideas can be blocked or slowed by a small minority.Walt Crawford (and Eric Schnell),  Library Leadership Network blog. July 28, 2009
Provocation #2 Libraries must shift to the Principle of Good Enough Wikipedia: POGE is a rule for software and systems design. It favours quick-and-simple (but potentially extensible) designs over elaborate systems designed by committees. Once the quick-and-simple design is deployed, it can then evolve as needed, driven by user requirements.

New tools that change so fast you might as well throw them out there for people to use now!,[object Object]
Provocation #4 Libraries will stop providing in-person services ,[object Object]

Provocation #5 Collection development as we know it is dead ,[object Object],[object Object]
Provocation #6 Libraries must bring more members of the Creative Class into the organization. Wikipedia: The primary job function of its members is to be creative and innovative. “Along with problem solving, their work may entail problem finding” (Florida, 2002, p. 69). ,[object Object]
