In my mind, so-called "cultures of innovation" really boil down to one word: curiosity.

Teams working on disruptive ideas need to be small enough that they can be fed by no more than two pizzas.

Aside from the equivalent of blowing up the lab or letting a pathogen escape, the only failure is spending too long or too much money to learn.

Anytime you see a constrained market, where consumption is limited to those who have special skills or are wealthy, that signals an opportunity for innovation.

Leaders today face challenges for which they are utterly unprepared.

People who copy what exists copy a point-in-time artifact, and if you are managing the process correctly you are already hard at work on the next thing.

If you work on a new product launch, spent time in a new geography, or work to develop a completely new skill, you have no choice but to figure out new ways to solve problems.
