The journey from excellence to innovation

Abstract

Once you have understood that the focus on excellence may hamper innovation, you can focus much better on bringing an innovation to market that customers want. As a start-up founder, I have learnt that you simply don't have the resources or time to focus on anything but a real market need for delivering innovation. Looking ahead, more opportunities for founders in academic publishing may be identified, e.g. in improving access, sharing data, and enhancing the speed of publication.
