Innovations like pyramids, paper, gunpowder and silicon are the direct result of the cultures that introduced them—empire, nation-state, kingdom, democracy, theocracy, technocracy, etc. Change happens when a human being has a thought that they own so much, they act from that place. As we gain clarity of purpose, it changes what and how we create, and the resulting flow of outputs. What are you trying to do or make? What innovation are you going for? Find out how to be a cultural change agent in your organization, and discover your own success equation for developing the culture that can make it.
