A corporate innovation leader told me his company was good at “failing slowly & at scale.” Nature does the opposite: it pushes innovation to the boundary, to individual cells or organisms. If mutations fail the ecosystem is fine. If they succeed the ecosystem learns & adapts.

Profits are the reward for learning something before the rest of the market. Ironically, when profits are the company’s primary focus learning is rarely the result, but when learning is a primary focus profits are often a byproduct.

The job of the corporate innovator is to be a professional insights gatherer. Not a consensus builder. Consensus kills insights.
