We know that bold innovations are critical in these disruptive and competitive times, but when it comes to breakthrough thinking, we often freeze up. That’s why the most prolific innovators focus on micro-innovations – small, creative acts that unlock massive rewards over time. Instead of shooting for a $10 billion IPO or a Nobel Prize, the most successful innovators passionately believe that innovation does not have to be big to be meaningful.
