The Innovation Delusion: How Our Obsession with the New Has Disrupted the Work That Matters Most by Lee Vinsel, Andrew L. Russell
5.0
Summary: maintenance over innovation. Keep what's working working -- instead of making new things.
Success survives on maintenance. System succeed when their tools work and the ground beneath them is stable. The obvious contrary is systems can't succeed if their tools aren't working and the ground is crumbling beneath them.
They make strong connections to maintaining the body, keeping house, maintaining infrastructure (roads, railroads, water, sewage).
I found this book insightful and inspiring a strong perspective shift in our modern obsession with making new stuff.
I re-read it twice in Audio and am now highlighting in Kindle.
Strong recommendation for all.
