Apple represents the “auteur model of innovation,” observes John Kao, a consultant to corporations and governments on innovation. In the auteur model, he said, there is a tight connection between the personality of the project leader and what is created. Movies created by powerful directors, he says, are clear examples, from Alfred Hitchcock’s “Vertigo” to James Cameron’s “Avatar.”

I live in New York, sandwiched between Greenwich Village and Soho. I co-founded onebluebrick with this guy. We are hard at work on Fast Society. Our first project was an awesome little website called edopter. Other neat things about me: I so infrequently go to midtown that I still feel sense of awe when I get off the subway. I go to concerts, I eat BBQ, and occasionally I will read a book. One day I will rewrite this paragraph and it will be much more interesting.
