Hi, Marcella - thanks for this comprehensive and well-written analysis of this idea from Disrupt Yourself.

You have done such a good job I have little to add of value.

I really liked one of your statements toward the end, where you say "If you create a workplace culture where everything is open to discussion, authority and ideas may be challenged, and mistakes are almost bravery, then you may be on your way to innovation. "    You have perfectly captured the workplace many of us desperately wish were commonplace, but unfortunately this is the exception rather than the rule.

Discussion, challenge, and mistakes are all words that scare the socks off many folks, especially those who focus on either their own career or work to maintain the status quo in systems, processes, and culture.

For some reason, I have this image of a small red-haired girl singing loudly "I wanna see you be brave":) ...

Thanks for a right-on push in the right direction.

John
