Most Memorable Innosight Moment

Having the opportunity to interview Scott Cook, the founder and chairman of Intuit, to ask him about his thoughts on what increases the success of teams pursuing disruptive innovation. We met with Scott in person and spent over an hour with him. He was thoughtful and provided excellent advice from a practitioner's perspective which has strongly impacted our clients and our thinking.
