Articles

Here are articles that I have written, co-written or are about the work I have been involved in.

HBR: ”Breaking Down the Barriers to Innovation”
The first one up is the HBR article that I wrote with Scott, Natalie and Rahul. It was the precursor to the book captures a lot of the ideas from our work on “Culture by Design”. It describes how to move towards a culture of innovation by systematically removing the things that are getting in the way. Here is the link (unless you are a HBR subscriber you may have to use up one of your free articles for the month – I hope you find it worth it). The article was nominated for the the inaugural Clayton Christensen prize which recognises the most influential HBR articles on innovation (just saying).
