As for the corporate embrace of innovation: before we giveintotemptation, and dismiss these efforts as cynical platitudes, consider the following: what if a senior leader within a large company decided she genuinely wanted to innovate, to try to get a traditional corporation to think differently, to share ideas better, to express passion and enthusiasm, and to leverage scale to maximize the impact of such innovative thinking.
Rather I suspect he found himself sliding insidiously down that very slippery slope we can all find ourselves on when we first decide togiveinto the temptationto surrender self-respect for self-interest, albeit perhaps in more mundane ways, in our own lives.
