I wish more tech companies encouraged (or even mandated) a day or two out of the year as 'hack day projects'. This is similar to Google's 20% projects but significantly compressed in time. Companies would benefit tremendously from actually sparking innovated ideas in this manner instead of using traditonal "suggestion box" type proposals that go nowhere since those tend to be all talk but no show. Instead what it currently promotes is for its developers to start their own side projects outside of work that lead to them leaving to work on their own business/startup.
