The Innovators's DNA

A recent IBM poll of fifteen hundred CEOs identified creativity as the number-one “leadership competency” of the future.

Apple’s slogan "Think Different” is inspiring but incomplete. That explains that innovators must act consistently differently to think differently. Through understanding, reinforcing, and modeling the innovator’s DNA, whereas the modern theory of competitive advantage considers innovations as one of the most important sources of competitive advantage.
