Commercial innovation ?

From a blog entry about killing creativity in organisations:

• "Slowing down, making time and space for innovation and its inevitable mistakes and false starts, isn't just a better idea. It's the only idea that works if you want to be around for the long term."

It is arguably the type of innovation stiffling middle-management style described in the entry that is responsible for me and my current employer taking different paths from the end of next week!
