I posted earlier about The Battle To Innovate in response to a post by Elias.  It was interesting to read on Innovation Zen about The Playstation True Story, which really resonated with me about the frustrations both Elias and I have been describing.
What struck me about this article is that it really illustrates many of the realities we observe day to day, that successful innovation / invention is hard work. Large organisations resist change, particularly when they don’t understand it, but the power of one individual who never gives up despite the setbacks and obstacles CAN succeed.
One thing is for certain — it can be lonely leading from at the front.
