Innovation starts with self-critique (which is why it’s so rare) , says Peter Linett. Go against your type, don’t put on “an exhibition that feels like an art museum designed it” or “a concert format that feels like a symphony orchestra designed it.” His litmus test for innovation: “I ask myself whether it feels like it was designed by that kind of institution, within its traditions, values, and personality — its comfort zone. ” What does a conference or work meeting look like that doesn’t feel
