GLOBAL INNOVATION

Abstract

“A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it is not open.” (quote from Frank Zappa) Openness is key to innovation – but what is it? The Fusioneers are great observers, listeners, and sensitive in a variety of ways, which leads them to find new needs. With emotional, cognitive, and active empathy, they bring their new creations to the world and receive by giving. Highly global, they cross many boundaries – and rules. Openness must be managed, however, and there are key times to close for innovation.
