The Slippery Slope of Leadership Transitions

Today, the word "innovation" gets over 400 million results on Google - in fact it's organizations like Google and Apple that have inspired most of us to ponder the litany of ill-defined options for making ourselves, our teams, and our businesses MORE INNOVATIVE! But ultimately all those Google hits end up telling us is this: we've mastered nothing. Innovation still eludes us and we go back to the well time and time again to answer the question: "How can we be more innovative?" So now what? Perhaps it's time to apply some of that innovation and realize that maybe we haven't solved the problem because we've been asking the wrong question.

GCARD2: Briefing paper North-South and South-South Collaborative Actions

The Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA) and the European Forum on Agricultural Research for Development (EFARD) through The European Alliance on Agricultural Knowledge for Development (AGRINATURA), joined forces in the implementation of the Platform for African-European Partnership on Agricultural Development (PAEPARD), established with funding from the European Union. Among the problems addressed by PAEPARD are: insufficient capacities of African agricultural knowledge organisations, at regional and national levels, on multi-stakeholder partnership for innovation systems; lack of effective linkages between research, extension and rural development.
