I remember Professor Ammon Salter talking about Kodak's missed opportunity in the digital camera space in the Business School in 2008, around the time the first iPhone was making headway... He used it as a case study of Clayton's 'Innovator's Dilemma' and predicted their rapid downfall unless they turned themselves around rapidly... Ammon's work/research in innovation may be of interest: http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/people/a.salter Wow, that came fast!

Little did they know about what made these two strangers say this and how it could be connected to someone I had mentioned earlier – Christian Vanizette. Despite what some of my friends may say for the usual joke – this had nothing to do with my russian/ukrainian background and the tales of russian mafia wars. As I was walking up towards the exit from SAF lecture theatre I saw two people approach me who asked that exact question.

It challenges people from around the globe to help social entrepreneurs to solve some of the world’s most stressing problems by organising creative brainstorm sessions that are called ‘hold-ups’ (yes, just like the ‘robbery at a gunpoint’). When a hold up is organised, 6-15 gangsters (that is – members of this movement) come together to meet one social entrepreneur with a specific problem to solve. The challenge could be anything from “how do I build an online community for my fair trade business” to more complex things such as “how do I scale internationally to support my microfinance charity in India” or “how do I introduce new streams of revenue for my environmental initiative in Chile”. The case is then brainstormed in a structured way so that after 2 hours we are able to come up with 100 ideas and 5 possible solutions to a given problem.
