On "hitting it big" with innovation
Listers may be interested Malcom Gladwell's two books The Outliers and Tipping Point on the above subject with the former focusing on events in society and hard word; the latter on the power individuals and the 'little things' they do shape the world. Message from the former: Hard work is critical to success, however, successful people were often lucky to be in the right place at the right time; plus you must sweat: 10,000 hours of skills development appears to be the rule of the thumb. Unless of course you are in Kenya where (in some cases) public budgets are siphoned away even before the money arrives! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matunda Nyanchama, PhD, CISSP; [email protected] Agano Consulting Inc.; www.aganoconsulting.com; Twitter: nmatunda; Skype: okiambe ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Be prepared to face ICT Security failures & know how to respond when they happen!

Malcolm Gladwell's books are fun, but they are a little fluffy for my taste. He is a good businessman though. On Fri, Jun 17, 2011 at 3:00 PM, Matunda Nyanchama < [email protected]> wrote:

I really like the Tipping Point. Especially about connectors; people who [unknowingly] have it in their nature to change the course of history or influence purchasing trends. Sent from my iPad On Jun 18, 2011, at 1:48 PM, "warigia bowman" <[email protected]> wrote:
