Meet the authors

Hi, we’re Massimo and Moritz.

We’re business innovation geeks with a wealth of experience at the intersection of business and research. We believe that scientific theories can help us better understand the world around us so we can work together toward a brighter future. And that’s how this book came about. Reflecting on our conversations with executives all over the world, we realized they contained insights that are gold for would-be innovators everywhere. And we simply had to surface them.
