Only half true.
Of course Nicholas Donofrio is wrong. I believe he speaks for his (and perhaps IBM's) lack of vision.

What is true about what he has said is that collaboration and multifaceted approaches are and will continue to be critical to the success of innovations.

The irony is that the most dramatic innovations (the "big things") will be created by mavericks who are willing to take a risk in not thinking like everyone else. This is in contrast to most incremental improvements which happen best in larger organizations.

I can think of several emerging technologies which will create new "big things" - that is, innovations that have large societal impact.
