The Law of Accelerating Returns

“An analysis of the history of technology shows that technological change is exponential, contrary to the common sense ‘intuitive linear’ view. So we won’t experience 100 years of progress in the 21st Century – it will be more like 20,000 years of progress (at today’s rate).”

The World is FLAT

“Globalization 3.0 is shrinking the world from a size small to a size tiny and flattening the playing field at the same time … [T]he dynamic force in Globalization 3.0 … is the newfound power for individuals to collaborate and compete globally. And the lever that is enabling individuals and groups to go global so easily and so seamlessly is not horsepower, and not hardware, but software – all sorts of new applications – in conjunction with the creation of a global fiber‐optic network that has made us all next‐door neighbors.”

Innovative Thinking

• Henry Ford:"If I'd asked my customers what they wanted, they'd have said a faster horse.“

• Peter Drucker: “Innovation is the specific instrument of entrepreneurship. The act that endows resources with a new capacity to create wealth.”

• Bill Gates: “Never before in history has innovation offered promise of so much to so many in so short a time.”

Vacuum Tubes v. Transistor 

• Vacuum Tubes powered all high fidelity sound reproduction (TV, stereos)

• Radios with solid‐state transistors were scratchy sounding and judged inadequate for “real” sound reproduction

• Transistor “pocket” radios were marketed to teenagers….

• Transistors got better and better

• Eventually vacuum tubes went the way of the dinosaur

Moral of the Vacuum Tube Story

• Innovation requires thinking

o Henry Ford: “Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it.”

• Innovation requires thinking about old ideas in new ways

A Culture of Innovation

Ken Robinson: 

“Just as individual creativity draws from many different skills and expertise in a single mind, corporate creativity draws on the skills and 

expertise across organizations.”
