Today I joined the AGA for a luncheon with Geoff Garrett as the key speaker. It was an intimate event with about 30 business leaders there to hear his description of why innovation is a contact sport. Geoff summarised the process down to the three C’s. Though before we get there, it is interesting to note that Geoff who has a distinguished educational background of honours also has a history of sport and in earlier years received a ‘Boxing Blue’ – awarded in alumni fights between Cambridge and Oxford.
