The Innovator’s DNA: Obvious?

The Innovators DNA is an obvious read.  That said, it is a really good kick in the ass when taken personally (seriously). Be sure to do a full 360 (ask other people) to see where you are on the discovery vs. delivery quotient stuff.

I still have a hard time believing that “a recent IBM poll of fifteen hundred CEOs identified creativity as the number one (#1) leadership competency of the future.”

corporate america still “trying” to innovate.

I had a great meetup with an old corporate friend last night. The innovation saga in corporate america definitely continues with rampant double standards (ie. fail fast, but don’t fail), risk aversion and political bozocity. Just because a company’s executives goes out to see Ideo doesn’t mean innovation will trickle down.  Just keep and assemble the right people.  

Too bad the “right people” for innovation are leaving or getting canned by people who should stay out of the way…
