Inspired by a conference from Marissa Mayer @ Stanford.

- 65. What should you remember ? Without innovation, you’ll die. Innovation becomes a fashion there where it should be a culture, an attitude. It takes art to innovate and to become sustainably competitive. Be ex-centric, work on the edges. Bring the consumer into the boardroom. Deepen your core competencies and look for differentiating resources outside, at the edges of your business. Find an idea that federates the troops along your value chain. Avoid politics by measuring everything, starting by the problem that an innovation should resolve. Practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice...
