jamming: the innovation concert
This truly is the age of improvisation; today’s organizations must have the creativity and agility to generate value on the fly. Like experienced jazz bands, they must learn to go far beyond the notes on the sheet music. To explore these themes, John wrote the best seller Jamming, which describes the lessons leaders can learn from jazz. As Yamaha’s first “artist in innovation,” John can memorably demonstrate the deep principles of innovation practice with the optional use of a grand piano.
