I like the new design. I’ll have to make a separate post comparing the redesign to the old one. I’m glad to hear you liked the review.

@Bill,

I think Kindling will work as well as the decision makers want it to. If the business leaders are control freaks, Kindling isn’t going to do anything to help employees make decisions. Management needs to be willing to let go of some control.

Also, your article reminded me of http://www.change.org/ideas . It has the same basic concept as Kindling, but management (the current administration) doesn’t seem to take their suggestions to heart. Weighing in at over 30,000 supporters is “Legalize the Medicinal and Recreational Use of Marijuana.” I haven’t heard any talk of legislation doing that.

I guess Kindling (or a similar concept) is as effective as how much control managers are willing to give up and truly take their employees ideas into consideration, instead of overruling everything.

The answer to that is at the White House website (yes the real one)

Thanks for the great writeup! You can bet we’ll be taking some of your suggestions into consideration (after all, suggestions are pretty much our thing .

In the meantime, you might want to take a look at the new kindling homepage – we’ve launched a new public facing site over the past couple of weeks. I’d be interested in your thoughts.

Thanks again!
