Comments on: Values and Measurements http://ibmzrl.wordpress.com/2009/07/02/values-and-measurements/ Why blog? I think this quote from Henry Chesbrough says it all, "Open Innovation is fundamentally about operating in a world of abundant knowledge, where not all the smart people work for you, so you better go find them, connect to them, and build upon what they can do.” The postings on this site are my own and don't necessarily represent IBM's.

This makes it increasingly difficult for BigCo's to only consider the figures you are referring too. Therefore innovation is too often seen as a threat rather than as an opportunity -which is very bad news for BigCo's in the first place because there are the playground where innovation could (significantly) help (substancial) figures look (much) better. That's the only (sad) reason why startups disrupt encumbants (a game that they obviously would prefer not to play).
