Ode to the Borgias. Machiavelli would be thrilled to see Renaissance Florence lauded CPO Tim Dickey. Yes the inventors, artisans and artists of Florence were certainly innovative but the despots of the times ruled despotically. :-)

Ah, the good, old patronage system of the Renaissance! Being a student of DaVinci, I enjoy the fact that HBR would actually compare something in modern times to a truly innovative time in Western history. LTC Stephen F., do you think that any of the current crop of modern innovators would even know about the Borgias or Machiavelli?
