This Issue: The Game-Changer Mindset

Changing the game in an industry is the highest form of innovation. Even when our focus lies on incremental, or even breakthrough innovation, we should heed the lessons of disruption and understand its logic. Of course, for those who happen to be in town to change the world, or at least the way we do things in the world, adopting the true mindset of disruption is non-optional. 

Take care.
