Transatomic Power is developing a next-generation reactor that runs on nuclear waste. They all have one thing in common: money from Silicon Valley venture capitalists.

The success of corporate R&D is on every C-suite agenda. Yet wide disparities persist in how well innovation investments actually pay off. As a consequence, R&D is often seen as a black box, where large sums of money go in and innovative products and services only sometimes come out. One of the aims of the Global Innovation 1000 study, our annual... - http://creativesage.tumblr.com/post...

Pretend that you occasionally lose your temper in meetings, and my aim is to get you to change. The next time I see you lose your cool, I say one of two things: "Hey, timeout. You just did it again — you lost your temper with Mario. This is the third time I’ve seen you do this in the last two days. C’mon, this behavior HAS to stop." or: "Hey, can... - http://creativesage.tumblr.com/post...
Procrastination has been an enemy to innovation for many years and getting over it can take some doing on your part. Although you try very hard not to procrastinate, yet you find yourself giving in to it and as a result, you lack the momentum to do the work of innovation. However, there are ways to cure the problem and make the innovativeness in... - http://creativesage.tumblr.com/post...
“I don’t divide the world into the weak and the strong, or the successes and the failures… I divide the world into learners and nonlearners.” –Benjamin Barber, Sociologist Is your capacity for learning is fixed or fluid?

The circular economy is about the four ‘R’s. Asked to describe a circular economy for someone who had never heard of it, Bart Goetzee, senior group sustainability at Philips explains that it’s “an industrial system that is restorative by design which means you can focus on economic growth without the increased use of natural resources.”... - http://creativesage.tumblr.com/post...

With the rise of behavioral economics, my profession is no longer so fixated on the theory that people are relentlessly selfish, striving only to maximize their own pleasure. We know, for example, that work is not just eight daily hours of suffering that people endure to make money for their own benefit. People actually like to work if they see... - http://creativesage.tumblr.com/post...
Data is confirming what we already know: recruiting is an imprecise activity, and degrees don’t communicate much about a candidate’s potential and fit. Employers need to know what a student knows and can do. Something is clearly wrong when only 11% of business leaders — compared to 96% of chief academic officers — believe that graduates have the... - http://creativesage.tumblr.com/post...
