The Filament team is back from a week in Washington D.C. and ILTACON, a large conference focused on legal technology and innovation. Besides facilitating several innovation-focused sessions, we rolled out another version of our Focus Wall.
Back when we first opened Filament, we set aside the occasional Friday afternoon for old friends to stop by and for new ones to visit for the first time. Now that we're approaching our third anniversary, we thought it was time to bring back Filament Fridays and make them better than ever.

Want to understand all the talk about AI? Facebook (yes, Facebook) has a pretty good multi-part video series introduction to Machine Learning.
Let's welcome another Monday with a few interesting things we found last week just for you.
When Expertise Kills Innovation:
Experts only know the way that got them there. They want to give answers, but innovation requires new questions. These new questions can only be asked by shifting ones perspective, a job outsiders are perfectly positioned for. Outsiders are the ones who change the game because they’re not blinded by expertise; they approach the situation.
Welcome to our Monday Morning Meeting. You're right on time!
Sometimes, just changing the question gets us better answers: Think About What You Could Do, Not What You Should Do:
Mitch Ditkoff at Idea Champions shares a great list of questions to ask senior leaders before hiring an innovation consultant. So many of them also apply to the work we do at Filament so I thought I'd share a few that will be added to our client assessment toolkit
Happy, happy Monday! Want to see some of the cool things we noticed this week? Keep reading!
We draw (a lot) here at Filament -- because we think it helps our clients think big and generate lots of new ideas. We also love comics! That's why we're sharing this link first: Comic Book Artists That Fueled a Century of Innovation.
Good morning! Here's what we've saved to share with you this Monday.
We've built a new version of our Operating System, and here it is! This quarter, we're launching several new "inventions" of ours.
