Session description

Much of what we know about innovation is wrong. That’s

the bet this entertaining keynote 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 Scott Berkun’s recent O’Reilly book (May 2007), will help you to recognize the myths, understand their popularity (even if you don’t believe in them), and how to use the truth of innovations past to help you in your work today.
