We are already in or heading for a trough of innovation disillusionment. We are witnessing even more incremental creep; we have lost the effect of serendipity, the “wow” factor, the moment something happened that changed our world.

When you feel the force of change running through the organization, you tend to have that same sensation, to resist the force with all your energy. Ignoring the power of choice within change is dangerous. Context is the vital ingredient often never told for innovation. Constructing a climate for any transformation is hard.
