DVF, empathy, traction, and all the rest only matter if you can convince stakeholders that they matter.

[Quote] All of the brilliant ideas in the world

"All of the brilliant ideas in the world cannot save your kingdom if no one will listen to them."

Brandon Sanderson. American author

The point for innovation

Innovation is not an intellectual exercise, nor a process. It's an outcome.

And you only achieve that outcome if anyone bothers to listen to you, in other words if you are credible!
