Borrowing Brilliance: The Six Steps to Business Innovation by Building on the Ideas of Others
October 26th, 2009
I really don’t know how I heard about David Kord Murray’s book, Borrowing Brilliance: The Six Steps to Business Innovation by Building on the Ideas of Others. It could have been recommended to me by Amazon.com or I could have read a book review of it while traveling. Nonetheless, I found the concept intriguing enough to purchase a copy. The book stimulated so many ideas that I could not wait to pick it up again whenever I had the chance to read a few chapters.
Murray is one of those interesting people that few of us have the chance to meet. He was educated as an engineer, graduating from the University of Vermont in 1982, and later obtained his MBA from Pepperdine University. Early in his career, while at McDonnell Douglas, he had the opportunity to work on the Space Shuttle program as well as the MX missile. Later, he went into the financial services business, founding several companies and later working at Intuit as its head of innovation.
