Kasia Hein-Peters's insight:
"...we need people to possess a series of thinking skills and behavioral traits that result in their ability to discover, develop, and test ideas and solutions that will result in positive changes not only their prospective fields but also in their daily lives.

Innovation has become the new buzzword, but its overuse and generalization has caused more instances of eye rolling than actual innovation. To get the results we need, the focus should shift from the term to the skills and behaviors that are needed. The word “innovation” is not important.

Kasia Hein-Peters's insight:
These biases stiffle any thinking, not only about innovations. There is also an "optimism" bias, meaning that companies usually think that things will go well, markets will continue to develop smoothly, governments will not curbe their budgets, local competitors will continue to have lower quality etc. But maybe this is an "arogance bias"? :-)

Uit een case study blijkt dat de Blue Ocean Strategy met succes is toegepast is op de film Skyfall.
