In Twenty-Five Seconds or Less...
The book asks a few key questions: Why do certain kinds of innovations — ideas and inventions — start revolutions in business and technology? How do they unleash an avalanche of creativity and constructive change? Can you apply these concepts to everyday problems?
The answers: Innovations that "break apart" the existing infrastructure of technology or business are the innovations that start revolutions. These innovations provide a set of common benefits, one of which is creativity. And once you learn the basic principles, you too can "break things apart" to solve a wide range of common problems in business and technology.
