Do you know what children and businesses have in common? They must learn how to be a ninja.

Momentum by TNW is our technology event in New York for anyone interested to help their business grow.
Gary Shapiro, CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association, believes that the characteristics of the ancient Japanese ninja can also be applied to companies that want to innovate and successful. Ninjas was not carrying weapons, but they have yet succeeded against the odds. They were flexible responded quickly to changing circumstances, they were adaptable and thinking outside the box.
Shapiro also embraces the importance of failure. As a business failure is an important learning experience and not recognizing, we lose a lot of learning ground. He thinks that, in this regard, Americans do well because they like failure as a learning experience.
Ninjas also evaluated different levels of skills. Today, when hiring, it is important to choose people are different from you, that goes against the natural desire to choose people who are like you. Meanwhile, Shapiro think people do not change, it is important to be aware of his weaknesses because there is not much space for improvement.
