Editor's Notes
- Grace – divine intervention. You have it or you don’t. Means companies can only improve by hiring such people. Accident – serendipity, Penicillin. Not helpful as a strategy. Association – procedures, lateral thinking, brainstorming. Amenable to training. Cognitive – nothing special, relies on cognitive processes – emphasis on hard work and productivity.

About removing mental barriers to allow this innate spirit to flourish.

The physical workspace – stimulating objects, spaces for both boisterous play and thoughtful contemplation. Bringing outside perspectives – observe users and customers in their own environments. Don’t fear strangers. Encouraging group convergence -
- Incremental innovation – Intel’s chips Radical innovation – the transistor, digital imaging Process innovation – float glass, ipod Disruptive innovation -
