Douglas Murray is a British author, journalist, and associate editor of The Spectator. He has written several well-known books on politics and culture, including The Strange Death of Europe and The Madness of Crowds.
Breakthrough: From Innovation to Impact is a collaborative project published by The Owls Foundation in 2014, edited by Henk van den Breemen along with Murray, Benjamin Bilski, and Maarten Verkerk. The book collects nineteen case studies from sectors like healthcare, logistics, agriculture, and geopolitics, each exploring what separates a successful innovation from a good idea that goes nowhere. Contributors include former Israeli President Shimon Peres, Shell executive Jeroen van der Veer, and EU Commissioner Frits Bolkestein. A second edition followed in 2016 with updated analysis.
