April 16, 2011How the Ivy League is Killing Innovation Here's a wonderful article, just published in Bloomberg Business Week that raises a very curious paradox -- why academics are teaching innovation. Authors G. Michael Maddock and Raphael Louis Viton state their case clearly, cleanly, and with just enough of an edge to draw blood. "Process-driven cultures love process-driven experts. Organizations, just like people, do what makes them feel strong, and nothing makes mature, process-driven companies feel stronger than having a template for doing anything (even if having a completely buttoned-down-ain't-no-exceptions-allowed template for innovation seems oxymoronic on its face). Need innovation? Simply call in a PhD with a bow tie and trademarked process and watch your innovation portfolio grow.

" mas de um conjunto de factores que Steven Johnson, autor de Where Good Ideas come from, exemplificou no recente XX Congresso das Comunicações. Johnson detectou um conjunto de padrões na emergência de ideias inovadoras, sendo o principal que "a sorte favorece as mentes conectadas" e que a intuição para algo novo surge nas formas mais bizarras.

Perante o rumor, o médico John Snow fez um mapa com a localização das mortes, falou com habitantes dessas zonas e - com a ajuda de Henry Whitehead, padre que passava as noites a beber cerveja e a falar com as pessoas (um "conector" com "inteligência social", salienta Johnson) - cruzou o mapa com as fontes de água.

Meaning Think creatively, unimpeded by orthodox or conventional constraints. Origin 'Think outside the box' originated in the USA in the late 1960s/early 1970s.
