In Episode 68, we re-visit a true titan of innovation. We were saddened when he passed away earlier this year. We are joined by a very special guest, Mark Hatch - Speaker, Writer, Advisor and Consultant in Exponential Innovation, Advanced Manufacturing and the Maker Movement. Clayton wrote many books on and around the topic of innovation and was a Harvard Business School Professor. Arguably, his most significant contribution is his theory of "disruptive innovation" - considered the most influential business idea of the early 21st century. We previously delved into Clayton in Episode 39. Thanks to our monthly supporters Mike Edwin Deitch Jamie Dorward Emily Rose Banks Malcolm Magee Natalie Ryan N.
