I’m currently (literally: I just switched apps from kindle to browsing HN moments ago) reading “Why Greatness Cannot Be Planned”, chapter 8, “Unchaining Innovation” and they are currently pointing out how consensus leads to a washed-out, bland sameness.
A corollary that they wrote is that if you want to explore innovative ideas, you could look for something that splits expert opinions sharply.
- chiefalchemist 4y agoAgreed. Funny enough I'm about to start "Different" by Youngme Moon. https://hbr.org/2010/05/why-being-different-makes-all https://hbr.org/2010/05/why-being-different-makes-all It's also why I believe "Zero to One" is essential. In short, move into a space of less and less competition. Obviously being the same prevents that. Btw, "Blue Ocean Shift" has the same msg. A bit long winded but in the end solid stuff.
