At BIF-2 this week, I was giving a lot of thought to how innovation gets really exciting for me at the bottom of the pyramid, when applied to create useful change for the 80% of the worlds population that can't access or use the global panoply of goods and services as its configured today.

Most of the stories at BIF-2 inspired me or sparked some thought, but the ones that really stuck with me - Michael Singer, Dean Kamen, Frans Johansson -  touched in some way on how we move the locus of innovation to the rest of the globe, rather than continuing to spiral through continuous refinement of goods, services, and experiences for ourselves.

So I'll use this space to develop that thought and start to pull the threads together on innovation at the Bottom of the Pyramid. Please jump in, there's some amazing stuff happening out there.
