more suggestivethan prescriptive.The book by the same title that they published in 2011 (The Innovator’s DNA: Mastering theFive Skills of Disruptive Innovators) is superficially similar but substantively different from thearticle. It expands in great detail on the skills but does not develop the metaphor underlying thebook’s title. The authors neither mention the concept of creative intelligence nor propose analternative characterization of the capacity that the five discovery skills are supposed to develop.They treat innovation as operations and processes punctuated by success stories of disruptionswhose logic is apparent in hindsight but has little to no predictive power. This emphasis onprocesses and operations is pervasive in book-length
