How can businesses adapt in this new economy?
In our Forward Focus interview series, we sat down with
Alexa Clay, author of The Misfit Economy, to discuss the 'new economy' and intrapreneurship, and
the implications of each on innovation.
Part of the ambition of The
Misfit Economy, according to Clay, is to ask hard question including: What

have to figure out how they evolve. How do they develop new cultures to fit a
really different kind of employee profile? How do they cater to misfits ' people
that are really thinking outside of the box'?
