This weeks Killer Innovations Podcast is a phone interview with Geoffrey Moore.

Geoffrey is an author, speaker, and advisor who splits his consulting time between start-up companies in the Mohr Davidow portfolio and established high-tech enterprises. Moore’s life’s work has focused on the market dynamics surrounding disruptive innovations. His first book, Crossing the Chasm, 3rd Edition: Marketing and Selling Disruptive Products to Mainstream Customers, has become required reading in universities around the world.

We discussed a wide range topics including:

* How organizational dynamics (corporate antibodies) block innovation

* Why innovation success requires CEO and Board support.

* Why the direct CEO sponsorship is required an innovation effort (can’t be delegated)

* Why an organization should only focus on one innovation effort a time.  Not 2 or 3.

* How Steve Jobs used the “hour glass” approach to innovation

* The best culture of innovation is “mission/cause” based

* The decline of the HP culture

* What are the “next things” that VC’s are looking at
