The connection between innovation and football

The connection between innovation and football - they both require balls


By Peter Kerr for sticK

(sticK - 25 Feb. 2011 ) There's no connect between football, as in soccer, and innovation - right?

Wrong, according to Innovationfixer (and my apologies for not being able to give an actual name).

The writer's passionate about sport, particularly football, and loves the use of sporting analogies and aphorisms business.

Heck, even non-basketball players know what "it’s a slam dunk" means.

He (I'm presuming it’s a he) poses and answers the question of why innovation is like football, and it’s a pretty good analogy. Even non-sports people will probably be aware of what he's talking about.
