Brian Wang on catalysing innovation clusters:
....Business innovation clusters have ecosystems of improvement feedback cycles. Ten of thousands of people are learning from improvement feedback cycles. They are driven by how to launch new products and new companies. Managers and developers are understanding all of the unwritten rules of what works and what does not and how to improve things and what might enable breakthrough improvement. There also needs to be a culture that thinks about moonshots that will dramatically alter the landscape with 10X or more improvement.More here
The strength and vibrancy of innovation is based on designing systems and products that not only satisfy existing needs but which enable shorter cycles of end to end development and rapid improvement. This should ideally be set up for enabling and encouraging breakthrough improvement.
...Metastrategy needs to be – how can we set things up where things work and things can improve rapidly and where can the people who do it keep learning and innovating.
