Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Incremental and discontinuous strategic innovation are not opposites, they are partners
- We love our customers, but we are always out of equilibrium with them
- We might serve our customers better by talking with people who are not our customers, and never will be
- Good ideas do not just rely on experts, they require non-experts as well
