Myths of Innovation at Google
August 28th, 2008 | Author: admin
Here’s the video of a talk delivered by best selling author Scott Berkun on The Myths of Innovation, based on key ideas in the book – by the same title. This one hour video was delivered at Google headquarters as part of their ongoing lecture series (on May 14, 2007) around the time the book was published.
It’s a very fun book to read, and I think you’ll enjoy watching the lecture.
ABSTRACT from Google/Youtube:
“Much of what we know about innovation is wrong. That’s the bet this talk takes, as it romps through the history of innovation, dispelling the mythologies we’ve constructed about how we got here. This talk, loosely based on the O’Reilly book (published May 2007), will help you to recognize the myths, understand why they’re popular (even if you don’t believe in them), and how to use the truth to help you innovate today.”
