INTRODUCTIONA CRUSHING FORCE
WE FACE A DILEMMA. When it comes to innovation, the same hard-won experience, best practices, and processes that are the cornerstones of an organization’s success may be more like millstones that threaten to sink it.

Yet in many fields what we must know in order to make even the most basic contribution is ever-increasing.
