The image below is stuck in my mind when asked how I see business innovation!
Let me explain.
Francisco de Goya, Saturno devorando a su hijo (Saturn eating his son).
I saw this painting for the first time over ten years ago at Museo del Prado, Madrid, and ever since, it has stuck with me as a way to represent the complexity of the business world.
In the short-term, Saturn's strategy to swallow his offspring might succeed, yet, in the long run, that turns against him...
That's what it means to look at the world as a Business Engineer.
