The Irish Times’ weekly business magazine, Innovation (pp.48-50) finally published an interview that I did with them a few weeks ago. I was talking with them about my book, The Innovation Acid Test and, interestingly, the conversation quickly moved beyond that to our (Butcher and Bandit) current book about the rapidly emerging ecology of innovation among independents and entrepreneurs in the the coworking universe.
As we spoke many things became clear. Many of the things that we are all talking about seemed SO clear. The most unfettered, creative, useful, exciting, and passionate innovation in the world no longer takes place within the big-budget environment of BigCo. Rather, it takes place in the intimate, constraint-loving, bootstrapping environment of independents working together collaboratively in newly forming business arrangements.
Groups like Indy Hall, Conjunctured, Citizen Agency, and others of like mind (and skill) now sit in the driver’s seat of the creative economy. My advice…
Don’t look back!
The Butcher
