The life span of a Fortune 500 company used to be 75 years, that average has now fallen to 15 years and it is expected to fall in half over the next decade. Kodak invented the digital camera, Blackberry popularized the smart phone, Blockbuster streamed video before Netflix. So why did these organizations fail? Being an inventor and being innovative are similar ideas, but have subtle differences in perspective that are critical to business success. These businesses failed because they didn't know how to recognize the patterns, opportunities and clues that innovators see.
