In London at "the innovation edge" conference hosted by NESTA (group w/ the mandate to encourage innovation in the UK.)
Tim Berners-Lee is speaking (inventor of the web) and just said two really interesting things: (1) (paraphrasing einstein) - if we knew what we were going to get at the innovative process, it wouldn't be called research. (2) Advice to grantmakers - don't ask those who you give money to tell you exactly what they'll get at the end of the process. (Otherwise you'll kill the innovative potential of what they're doing.)

Bravo! A great book that elaborates on some of these concepts is called Getting to Maybe by Frances Westly et al. Highly readable and a must for those interested in helping to create solutions to public problems.
