Beyond the Myths of Innovation: Live
One of my most popular books is The Myths of Innovation. It was published years ago but I’m still regularly asked to talk about the core themes of tech-hype, survivorship bias, the flaws of tech-determinism and what true innovation looks and feels like.
Recently I was invited to give a talk called Beyond The Myths of Innovation as the opening keynote at Interface – Québec this year. I briefly explained the Myth of Epiphany, but then told stories that are not in the book. It was an excellent event and I felt honored to be there.
They kindly recorded my talk and you can watch it here for free.
Scott Berkuns work has been incredibly insightful for me, especially his approach to creativity and design. His books are not just informative but also deeply thought-provoking, making complex ideas accessible and engaging. I particularly appreciate how he encourages readers to reframe challenges as opportunities for growth and innovation. The way he blends personal anecdotes with practical advice makes his work relatable and actionable. His latest book, Why Design Is Hard, is a must-read for anyone looking to understand the nuances of design thinking. Berkuns ability to connect with readers on a personal level while delivering valuable insights is what sets him apart. If youre seeking inspiration and a fresh perspective, his work is a treasure trove of wisdom.
