"1) Innovation and growth is not (just) a fuzzy process of screwing around vigorously (SAV) but can be a systematic process, 2) Innovation and growth is not (just) something that happens in a department like R & D or product development, 3) Innovation and growth is not just about products or solutions - it is about creating a transformational change in the way people live, work and play." - Chapter 26, Erich Joachimsthaler, Author of Hidden in Plain Sight
