How to manage through disruption
Kevin Lynch, CTO of Adobe, interviews Stephen Elop, CEO of Nokia.
Mr. Elop has some great thoughts about innovation and about managing through disruption. It’s interesting because both of them worked at Macromedia before it was bought by Adobe. If you remember well, Macromedia used to make authoring tools for CD-Rom’s back in the day before the internet existed.

Want to be disruptive? Be on the lookout for disruptive thinking
Last week I told you about a client who had an epiphany and now he and his company are ready to ‘think about what they’ve never thought about‘. Great, but where to start?
