What Ben understands, and what he has helped us and those he works with understand and navigate, are the complexities and tensions of innovation. For example, innovation requires risk-taking, failure, and testing of ideas. At the same time it requires careful consideration of the trade-offs, a relentless focus on excellence, and a disciplined drive toward demonstrated improvement.
