Innovation is critical for businesses of all shapes and sizes, from launching a first product to making a new global acquisition.

For example, in recent years Hollywood films have more frequently begun to “bomb” at the box office, taking in less ticket sales than was expected.

Having written several books over the past decade and contributed small snippets of thought leadership or entire chapters to over a dozen other books, I still return to the book I wrote with Derek Bishop and Jo Geraghty of Culture Consultancy fame.

About a decade ago I made the trip out to see Brian Robertson, the creator of Holacracy, the leaderless management governance method. It was all the rage at the time, with high-flying firms such as Zappos and Medium adopting it enthusiastically. Brian was kind enough to spend a few hours with me, explaining the ins and outs of how it all worked. But even then I was skeptical and I told him so.
