2. Why Innovation matters?
“Our species exists thanks to four billion
years of genetic innovation. Since time
immemorial, life has been experimenting
with new genetic combinations, through
sexual recombination and random
mutations.
…Thank God for screw-ups, for if life had
adhered strictly to six sigma rules, we’d all
still be slime.”
– Gary Hamel
