Sir Ken Robinson, New York Times bestselling author of The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything
"With his characteristic clarity, insight and style, Frans Johansson presents an absorbing account of the how randomness, serendipity and 'luck' can be used to enhance success in business and in your own life. A fascinating plunge into the riptides and cross currents of chance and opportunity that so often affect the course of human achievement."
The Medici Effect The Medici Effect was an international bestseller that shattered assumptions about how great ideas happen, made BusinessWeek and Amazon's year-end "best-of" lists, and was translated into 18 languaged across the world. The book looks at how we have the best chance of breaking new ground when we combine ideas from different cultures, industries or fields. Frans Johansson takes the reader on a fascinating journey to the Intersection: a place where ideas and concepts from diverse industries, cultures, departments, and disciplines collide, ultimately igniting an explosion of ideas leading to extraordinary innovations.

"The Medici Effect is one of the most insightful books about managing innovation I have ever read. Its assertion that breakthrough insights occur at novel intersections is an enduring principle of creativity that should guide innovators in every field."
Tom Freston, Former Chairman and CEO of MTV Networks
"The Medici Effect is a bold and original study of something that is generally thought to defy analysis-the nature of creativity and innovation."
