Francois Jacob, Nobel Laureate in Medicine:
“What we can suspect today will not become reality, there will be changes inany case, but the future will be different from what we think. That is especiallytrue for science…Unforeseeability is part of the essence of the venture of science…It is impossible to say where a particular arm of research will lead…

New models of innovation
• User-led innovation—Von Hippel
• Open innovation
• Co-creation
• p2p

Embrace Risk & Failure
