Additional Praise For
The New Polymath
“Don’t know what a Polymath is? If you learn and become one before
your competitors do, you can eat rather than be eaten. Mirchandani’s
thoroughly insightful work will become 21st Century Acumen.”
—Don Tapscott, Author of 14 books, including (with Anthony
Williams)
MacroWikinomics: Rebooting Business and the World
“The
New Polymath
brings to life the powerful idea of innovating by
bringing the right mix of people together, regardless of function or
geography. It’s must reading for anyone leading multi-disciplinary
teams or looking to drive innovation.”
—Chris Curran, CTO, Diamond Management &
Technology Consultants
“Every 10 to 15 years the technology industry reinvents itself, taking
all the achievements and knowledge from the prior generation and
turning them into a platform for new innovation. That regular cycle of
rebirth has transformed the way we work, live and play⎯around the
world. Mirchandani has done a fabulous job shining a light on exam-
ples of people and organizations that take what exists around us and
turn it into what is possible. These are the innovators that inspire us.”
—Dave Duffield, Co-CEO and Chief Customer Advocate,
Workday; Former Chairman and CEO, PeopleSoft, Inc.
“Mirchandani has long been not only one of the leading enterprise
software analysts, but someone who has always understood the value
of innovation and ideas in the marketplace.
The New Polymath
is both
a key discussion on how to innovate and who is innovating but also
an appreciation of how we innovate. This isn’t just a useful book, it’s
a must read.”
—Paul Greenberg, Author of
CRM at the Speed of Light
“Mirchandani describes a future of possibilities⎯‘fortunate accidents
of innovation’⎯enabled by the convergence of technologies with a
dose of ideas from ‘left field.’ As the founder of Rural Sourcing, we
believed in the untapped potential of our young people in Rural
America. The possibilities are limitless when there are no geographic
boundaries to our workforce and we can truly move the work to the
worker rather than the worker to the work.”
—Kathy Brittain-White, Former EVP and CIO,
Cardinal Health; Founder, Rural Sourcing, Inc.
“The
New Polymath
takes a close look at the rate of innovation, not
just in the U.S. but around the world, chronicling the rapid evolution
of technologies and business. If you are wondering about the future,
then find time to read this book.”
—Om Malik, Author of
Broadbandits: Inside the $750 Billion
Telecom Heist
& Founder, GigaOM.
“Mirchandani has done a great job tying together many of the multi-
dimensional forces which are fueling a new generation of technological
innovations aimed at addressing some of our most important business
and social challenges.”
—Jeffrey M. Kaplan, Managing Director of THINKstrategies
and Founder of the SaaS Showplace
“Mirchandani produces the ultimate journey through the world of
information technology innovation and its impact on today’s globally
integrated society. Not many evangelists have lived through IT/business
innovation with the unique proximity of Mirchandani⎯his case discus-
sions, interviews and perspectives are a truly enlightening experience
to enjoy.”
—Phil Fersht, Founder & CEO, Horses for Sources
“At
Science Debate,
we focus the attention of Presidential candidates
on the
Top 14 Science Questions Facing America.
Solving them requires
collaboration between technologists, economists, industrialists and gov-
ernments.
The New Polymath
profiles numerous examples of this cross-
silo innovation.”
—Shawn Lawrence Otto, CEO and Cofounder,
Science Debate, Inc
“As I watch Meg Whitman, my boss at eBay for seven years, pursuing
one of the toughest jobs in the country⎯the Governor of California⎯and
I am now focused on changing the world of work the same way we
changed the world of ecommerce, I am inspired by this book. As you’ll
see when we all aim higher, and embrace the power of ‘AND,’ we are
all capable of contributing far more than we imagined!”
—Maynard Webb, Chairman and CEO, LiveOps;
Former COO, eBay
