More about acceleration
Mastering the art of acceleration means knowing how (and when) to change the speed and direction of the innovation process.
Borrowing from the world of physics, acceleration is the name we give to any process where the velocity changes. Since velocity means speed with a direction, leaders can accelerate innovation in one of three ways: by speeding up, by slowing down, or by changing direction. (Inspired by Khan Academy, n.d.)
