<br/><br/> How did Pixar go from producing CAT scan images to winning Oscars?<br/><br/>How did Steve Jobs turn Apple into a world-beating company?<br/><br/>How does Amazon's culture encourage innovation?<br/><br/>How can you find the creative solutions demanded by our ever-changing world?<br/><br/>The answer, according to renowned business thought-leader Peter Sims, is LITTLE BETS. In these fast-moving times, it's next to impossible to predict what's around the corner, and harder still to formulate a foolproof plan to deal with it. Truly innovative companies, Sims argues, don't get caught up in projections and predictions. Instead, they embrace uncertainty, take a chance, fail quickly and learn fast.<br/><br/>This method has formulated thousands of modern advances, from Google's PageRank to Starbucks coffee shops - if you harness its power, what could you achieve?
