Plenty od surveys (McKinsey, IBM CEO) indicate that most companies believe that innovation performance would improve with a better pipeline of big ideas (57%), yet only a third of these managers thought they had a good balance between idea generation and effective execution.

Like the Web, the U-Web was based on open standards, meaning that all the above functionality could have been implemented by many separate groups of developers. It allowed anyone to join in and offered interactive content - an unlimited ecosystem of mashups. Specifically, the U-Web was conceived with an open protocol and notation for peer-to-peer multicast data updates, rather than the Web's client-server document publishing.<br><br>
