Can disrupting routines create innovation?

Frank Barrett, author of "Yes to the Mess," describes why being uncomfortable spurs creative thinking. I love it because he uses examples from Jazz innovators to describe how disrupting routines creates innovation.

There is a great story about Miles Davis and an innovation he brought to jazz. What was the result of this innovation? The highest selling jazz album in history to this date. And this was in 1959.

Worth a quick 3 minutes of you time.
