“Succeeding through creation often requires innovation – figuring out how to put together and add value to things that just weren’t there before.”

– Joel Podolny

“The ultimate goal of a ‘learning fast’ approach to innovation is to embed in your culture the ability to extract the key insights from your pursuits and the ability to quickly recognize how to modify your project plan to take advantage of unexpected learnings, and the flexibility and empowerment to make the necessary course corrections.”

– Braden Kelley

“Where innovation comes in, is in figuring out the right problem to be solved, the right question to ask, and then figuring out a better way to solve the problem. You can’t just come with a solution for today’s problem. Nothing stays the same.”

– Rick Hassman
