- The Medici Effect: Innovation at the Intersection
Frans Johansson’s Medici Effect argues that the most original innovations occur at the "intersection" — where concepts from different disciplines, cultures, or domains collide and combine in unexpected ways. The framework is consistent with research on analogical reasoning and the value of diverse knowledge networks for creative output; the book itself is a practitioner synthesis rather than a research study. - Build a diverse network deliberately
Connect with people in different disciplines, cultures, and functions — not primarily with people who do what you do.
