More quotes by Vijay Govindarajan

The innovation leader’s job is to execute a disciplined experiment.

Inside a big experiment, there are little experiments.

Of all possible resources that a firm might possess, its knowledge base has perhaps the greatest ability to serve as a source of sustainable differentiation and hence competitive advantage.

Organizations are not designed for innovation. Quite the contrary, they are designed for ongoing operations.

‎Chris Trimble (2013)

The more you hardwire a company on total quality management, [the more] it is going to hurt breakthrough innovation... The mindset that is needed, the capabilities that are needed, the metrics that are needed, the whole culture that is needed for discontinuous innovation, are fundamentally different.
