Innovation Simply Isn't As Unpredictable As Many

What You Need Is A Fundamental Humility - The Belief That You Can Learn From Anyone.

As I Have Studied The Bible And The Book Of Mormon, I Have Come To Know Through The Power Of The Spirit Of God, That These Books Contain The Fullness Of The Gospel Of Jesus Christ.

I Was Lucky Enough To Build On The Work Of A Number Of People Who Had Already Run Laps Around This Theory-building Track. The Original Classification Scheme, Years Ago, Distinguished Radical From Incremental Change. The Theory Said That Established Firms Managed Incremental Change Well, But Would Be Expected To Founder When Their Industry Encountered A Radical Change.

In A Large Successful Company Where Your Power Base As Ceo Isn't All That Secure, It's Hard For A Ceo To Pursue A Truly Disruptive Strategy.

Another Thing I've Observed Is How Critical The Role Of The Ceo Is When A Technology Truly Is Disruptive. In Looking Back On Companies That Have Successfully Launched Independent Disruptive Business Units, The Ceo Always Had A Foot In Both Camps. Never Have They Succeeded When They Spin Something Off In Order To Get It Off The Ceo's Agenda. The Ceos That Did This Had Extraordinary Personal Self-confidence, And Almost Always They Were The Founders Of The Companies.
