Listen "E34: From Boxes to Lines"
Episode Synopsis
This podcast celebrates 20 years since the launch of my first book, 24/7 Innovation. It also marked the time when I left Accenture and started my own innovation business. In honor of this special period in my life, I read the Prologue to that book and share some thoughts on where we have come in the last two decades.In this episode, we explore:how innovation and management theory have followed the times of the day (from Taylor to today)why past innovation strategies have focused on "boxes" (activities) while newer models focus on "lines" (interconnections) why jazz is a good metaphor for innovation in that it is a collaborate and improvisational approach that adapts to new realitiesthe recent progress innovation has made to move towards "lines" rather than boxeswhy relevance and adaptability is more important than ideas or noveltyThank you to everyone who has made the past 20 years possible!Stephen
