How it occurs in large companies\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

We all can picture the corporate R&D lab with tens of scientists working at white boards, or over computer models, or with prototypes.\u00a0 And we picture programmers working at their workstations or on their portable notebooks creating great new code.<\/p>\n

But all those people are following the flash of inspiration that started their activity, and it is that flash we seek to reproduce again and again in a successful enterprise.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s an advantage to smaller, more agile creative organizations, even if it is an organization of one person.<\/p>\n
