There's so much innovation going on, and there are lots of people funding that innovation, but there's very little innovation on that infrastructure for innovation itself, so we like to do that ourselves to help companies create more tech companies.

Naval Ravikant

There are companies that are good at improving what they're already doing. There are companies that are good at extending what they're doing. And finally there are companies that are good at innovation. Every large company has to be able to do all three - improve, extend, and innovate - simultaneously.

Peter Drucker

Rapid innovation is the cure for the ills we face, but because innovation is difficult and susceptible to failure, we might need to rethink the way we approach innovation and how we drive it through our companies.

Richard Owen

Innovation is doubly hard inside big companies.

Scott D. Anthony

We have found that companies need to speak a common language because some of the suggested ways to harness disruptive innovation are seemingly counterintuitive. If companies don't have that common language, it is hard for them to come to consensus on a counterintuitive course of action.

Clayton M. Christensen

Companies have too many experts who block innovation. True innovation really comes from perpendicular thinking.

Peter Diamandis

From an app point of view, if you looked at innovation on the PC, you'd be hard pressed to find companies innovating. The list is small.

Tim Cook

MBA programs are underwritten by large companies and they succeed at producing future employees of large companies. In that regard, they are doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing.

Lewis Schiff

One of the banes of successful innovation is that companies may be so committed to innovation that they will give the innovators a lot of money to spend.

Clayton M. Christensen

I believe companies like ours are going to be as large as media companies and social networking companies that are valued in the tens of billions of dollars.

David Baszucki

We have found that companies need to speak a common language, because some of the suggested ways to harness disruptive innovation are seemingly counter-intuitive. If companies don't have that common language, it is hard for them to come to consensus on a counter-intuitive course of action.

Clayton Christensen

Chinese companies - telecommunications and technology companies - are some of the best internationally. Taobao, WeChat, Huawei - not only are they large companies, but they're also very technologically advanced.

Lee Hsien Loong

In the most innovative companies there is a significantly higher volume of thank yous than in companies of low innovation.

Rosabeth Moss Kanter

It's the unlikely juxtaposition of creativity and logic which causes the wooliness and confusion around the term 'innovation'. Everybody wants to be innovative; many companies and ideas are proclaimed to be innovative and no one doubts that innovation is a money spinner. And, thus, we are all looking for the magic formula. Well, here you go: Creativity + Iterative Development = Innovation.

James Dyson

The best talent in the venture industry doesn't work in large companies and won't work in large companies.

Fred Wilson

You can create value with breakthrough innovation, incremental refinement, or complex coordination. Great companies often do two of these. The very best companies do all three.

Sam Altman
