"Many people still believe a better mousetrap is all it takes. But of the 2000+ mousetraps

patented, only two have sold well, and they were both designed in the 19th century. A good idea

doesn't sell itself although most 'lone inventors' make the mistake of thinking it will.“

“Innovation distinguishesbetween a leader and a follower.” - Steve Jobs

"The challenge for the leader is to run the operational world, designed to maintain business

performance as it is today, and to allow people to move into the innovation world as well, so

they can operate flexibly and step outside of today's rules and structures in order to

develop new ways of working.“
