Most of us do more than subsist. From the vantage point of our ancestors, we live lives of almost unimaginable ease. Here again, we have innovation to thank.

A noble purpose inspires sacrifice, stimulates innovation and encourages perseverance.

Win small, win early, win often.

Fact is, inventing an innovative business model is often mostly a matter of serendipity.

Organizational structures of today demand too much from a few, and not much at all from everyone else.

Today, no leader can afford to be indifferent to the challenge of engaging employees in the work of creating the future. Engagement may have been optional in the past, but its pretty much the whole game today.

There is no way to create wealth without ideas. Most new ideas are created by newcomers. So anyone who thinks the world is safe for incumbents is dead wrong.
