GLOBAL INNOVATION

What’s So Special About Lateral Innovators?

Abstract

This group is very global, having on average 3 or 4 countries to call “home.” In fact, the Fusion research shows that single-nation living may even inhibit mental flexibility, which is so very needed for radical innovation. Open-minded and emotionally stable, the Fusioneers showed a high level of cultural empathy and social initiative. They learn continually, understand others’ needs, adapt and create, and have the stability to persist when bringing an adaptation -- a new innovation -- to life.
