Box Replacement Winners

A few weeks ago we embarked on a whimsical journey to find a replacement for the tired cliche:  Think Outside the Box.  Several of you reminded us that if we did happen to find a phrase that was equally catchy as the current one, it too would soon become a cliche.  Tis true ... tis true. But, still we embarked on the journey and several of you submitted suggestions that 237 people voted on (and 125 of you submitted your own possibilities).

Drumroll please ... here are the three winners and their suggestions:

** There is no box -- 57 votes -- suggested by Don Gutridge II
** Escape the Matrix -- 52 votes -- suggested by Mike Warren
** Spark the Gap -- 37 votes -- also suggested by Mike Warren
** Thinking past the horizon -- 31 votes -- suggested by Tony Billoni

Winners will receive a free InnovationNetwork membership.

All of the suggestions that came in during the survey (as well as the original ones) are listed in the attached document ... please feel free to use any of them whenever you're trying to help people break the barriers of their thinking.

Thanks to everyone who played the game!  Download box_contest_suggestions.doc
