Hi Drew and Jacob,
Great post. I think this is an extremely fruitful area of investigation - innovation biases. It is well-known that technically great teams fail all the time (Shockley Semiconductors, etc) and usually this is due to behaviors. Stuff like biases often make a disproportionate contribution to this so it is about time we looked at them.
Great article!
Best regards,
