“Twenty-five percent of failures were due to people trying to solve the wrong problems,” says Mann ( @darrellmann ), former chief engineer at Rolls-Royce, where he studied innovation duds and dynamos for 15 years. A scant 2 percent of all companies’ innovation attempts end in success, he goes on to tell John Kennedy of Silicon Republic.
