In the album Bitches Brew, Miles Davis put together older, straight-ahead musicians, studio musicians, and young lions to invent a new form of music - fusion. In doing so, Miles provided an "agile" innovation culture, by creating a minimalist, well-defined environment and musical system framework, and then allowed the "developers" (i.e. musicians) to evolve the system. This talk looks at the framework that Miles provided, and the key characteristics that the individual innovators must bring to the table, that resulted in a ground-breaking product.
