Crab,
Don't take it personally. I'm not talking about innovation at the coal-face, that has always been there through the need to make things work when all else is against you. I'm referring to innovation at a more strategic level. I don't think many in the military have the first idea how forward thinking [B]some[B] commercial companies can be. Not every Organisations' decision making is driven by senior managements' desire to get promoted every few years.
