Very interesting post, as David Hains and Denyse Drummond-Dunn say for diagnostic purposes, but also for presenting the process to the "unaware" companies, so that they can see the value, and benefits of implementing collaborative cultures in the business industry.

Innovation is driven by the informed choice of constraints, not by the elimination of constraints. Ask yourself this question: “Is innovation caused, or is it serendipitous?” The answer is almost certainly “yes.” Via Fouad Bendris

Leadership Consultant Jim Shipley über Erkenntnisse der Neurowissenschaft und ihre Bedeutung für Führung. Interessante Punkte:1: Gedanken, Gefühle und Bewusstsein entspringen alle demselben neuronalen Mechanismus – eine Trennung von emotionalen und rationalen Aspekten der Führung macht daher wenig Sinn.2: Es gibt neben dem Erfahrungs-Selbst auch ein hochsubjektives Erinnerungs-Selbst, das Objektivität vortäuscht – Führungskräfte können demnach zu besseren, holistischeren Entscheidungen gelangen, wenn sie lernen, mehr im Jetzt zu sein und nicht so sehr aus ihrer Erinnerung heraus zu interpretieren. Netter Text, allerdings predigt er auch die fragwürdige These von der unterschiedlichen Ausrichtung der linken und der rechten Gehirnhälfte.

Interesting article... I have some smaller reserve though... the most importatnt is that as far as I know the left and right hemisphere is toda rather a metaphora than a physical reality (when one of them is hurt, the other more or less takes over without problem its functionality) but if we take it as it is - a strong metaphorb - the sens of the argunment is as good as it would be a physical reality...

Decision making lies at the heart of our personal and professional lives. Every day we make decisions. Some are small, domestic, and innocuous. Others are more important, affecting people’s lives, livelihoods, and well-being. Inevitably, we make mistakes along the way.

The point: Anyone can innovate if they are willing to change their ways, but no everyone can because change isn’t a priority. It is something that happens, and most are more than comfortable waiting until they have to. Those with guts are bound for glory. Take the first step, shed some skin to make way for new capabilities.
