Doing so means a new kind innovation management because the management most of us learned in school won’t quite do the trick. His very lean progressive assembly process was the result. But, when you try to innovate and create new demand using “modern management” for optimizing supply, don’t expect to be around forever.

For some firms we may be in a cycle where management teams are seeking to harvest ideas from previous investments in innovation. Digital transformation almost goes without saying.
