Return on Imagination
If you are a champion for innovation in your company, chances are good that you've encountered the ROI beast more than a few times -- senior leaders looking at you cross-eyed and asking all kinds of impossible-to-answer questions about ROI. Stop the madness! Change the game! Invite them to watch this slide show with you. Then talk turkey.

Mitch,
When looking at a large organization, managers may make up 10-15% of the population. This slide deck is a part of the story; we need another to address individual contributors!
My thought is that ICs should innovate behind their manager's back, so long as they are also exceeding their manager's expectations. If innovators can demonstrate ROI on their skunkworks, that's all the better.
