Today, he’s a consultant and writer, best known for his book, “F.I.R.E.: How Fast, Inexpensive, Restrained, and Elegant Methods Ignite Innovation.” In this Fika break, we talk to Dan about his time in the military, the concept of “stormdraining” (the opposite of brainstorming), and how being fast, inexpensive, simple, and small is the secret to innovation.

Om Podcasten

Named for the Swedish custom that eschews the ‘on-the-go paper coffee cup’ routine in favor of slowing down and catching up with colleagues and friends, the Fjord Fika podcast features unscripted conversations with key luminaries and thought leaders in technology and design. Sometimes strange, but always interesting, each Fika conversation offers a fresh, honest look at all sides of innovation – the good, the bad and the ugly – and the impact on society. Fjord is a design and innovation consultancy, part of Accenture Interactive.
