Writing my next book 📝 

Currently I’ve locked myself up for a week in a hotel to be able to concentrate and write on my new book, with the title: The ideaDJ strategy'


Twice a day I do a FaceTime session with Marc Heleven (the best internet innovation reseacher around) to ping-pong on the content. I actually write the book in Apple Keynote (aka PowerPoint) for the visual flexibility!

PS: This Fletcher hotel must like writers, as I even got a room upgrade! 🙏

HBR: The hard truth about innovation 🤔

Harvard Business Review wrote a good article on the balance between creativity & discipline for innovation. The 5 main take aways:

  1. Tolerance for Failure but No Tolerance for Incompetence
  2. Willingness to Experiment but Highly Disciplined
  3. Psychologically Safe but Brutally Candid
  4. Collaboration but with Individual Accountability

  5. Flat but Strong Leadership
