I remember an interview with Alan Kay where he described what are the conditions to enable the kind of innovations he is known for. Quote:
"The shortest lived group at Xerox PARC was `Office of the Future,` because Xerox executives would not leave them alone. I chose the most innocuous name for my own group, the Learning Research Group. Nobody knew what it meant, so they left us alone to invent-object oriented programming and the GUI."
