The Role of Creative Ignorance Portraits of Path Finders and Path Creators P Formica 9781349504220 Books Reviews


  • Piero Formica’s THE ROLE OF CREATIVE IGNORANCE PORTRAITS OF PATHFINDERS AND PATH CREATORS is fresh air. Not pedantic in the least, THE ROLE OF CREATIVE IGNORANCE is gritty, exciting, and actionable. Formica furnishes incontestable proof that Creative Ignorance is an invaluable asset.

    Richly hued with street-smart examples, memorable word pictures, and insight from diverse people, Formica’s THE ROLE OF CREATIVE IGNORANCE is a beacon of light in the finite, unimaginative, uninventive world of certainty. There is never a dull moment in the reading of this book, as it poses a way to see and be differently in order to create and innovate. Simple, direct and bold, THE ROLE OF CREATIVE IGNORANCE unshackles the learner from traditional waterwheel methodologies and reasoning. Beautiful!

    Who would attempt to drive looking only in their rear-view mirror to move forward? Preposterous! Then why do we drive our companies and our lives fixated on known-knowledge and certainty? Formica writes, ”The majority of innovators think of change as an extrapolation of past events that seeks to improve what they already know how to plan and do. The probability of success can be measured the risk lies in the measurement. However, committed to remake and invent a world that does not exist today, a minority of innovators decide to change themselves and leave behind the daylight of certainty, advancing into the dark night of unmeasurable uncertainty. For them, ignorance is not a barrier to action. What will happen along the pathway to the future they will discover as part of the process of remaking and inventing...”

    Piero Formica’s THE ROLE OF CREATIVE IGNORANCE PORTRAITS OF PATHFINDERS AND PATH CREATORS pierces the callousness of certainty to go right to the heart of vibrant, responsive, adventuresome entrepreneurship and innovation. A must-read...
  • In synthesis, I love that Piero Formica has given an unprecedented state of the art push to the knowledge envelope. To me, this is part of a movie in which I have been acting most of my professional, business, and academic life. In Chapter 2, it is very clear that I am trying to become a Path Creator. However, in analysis, I have a minor dislike in the influence left of manufacturing tangible goods on what Alvin Toffler described in his book The Third Wave, as I strongly belief that the Second Wave has been for nearly two decades in its decline phase. Recently a Path Finder can use Artificial Intelligence to continue the strategic myopia of the Second Wave that limits the knowledge horizon in a Singularity path without a heart, especially when restricted by the ‘know-who’ contacts ‘Groupthink’ and the Path Created to maximize shareholder value that negatively reinforce each other for the general population. But to me that minor dislike is not a hard barrier to the future of humanity, as a Singularity path with a heart and Artificial Intelligence will be available as we create Toffler’s Third Wave in its inception phase in order to support Path Creators that introduce radical innovations on intangible goods to be followed by “know-how” Path Finders’ incremental innovations. Finally, we must congratulate Piero for laying down what was needed to lift the fear of the unknown that used to block the future of humanity, while giving a good reputation to creative ignorance.
