“Yesterday’s logic won’t spark tomorrow’s ideas!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
Let's talk about why many innovation efforts fail.
It's often because people keep on doing the same old thing, following the same old ideas, chasing the same old goal that is now irrelevant, fighting among themselves in the same old way over the same old arguments, following the same old pattern of inaction.
Sounds about right.
I was reading a publication the other day while doing some research on another topic and came across this article, which got me thinking about this issue, which led to today's quote.
I quickly learned that the reason for this state of affairs in many organizations is due to what psychologists call "cognitive rigidity.' Let's dig in.
What is it?
Like a stubborn door that refuses to open, our minds can sometimes become locked in patterns that restrict our ability to see new possibilities and adapt to life’s ever-changing circumstances. This mental inflexibility, known as cognitive rigidity, can significantly impact our thinking and behavior, often without us even realizing it.

So why should we care?
But why should we care about cognitive rigidity? Well, in today’s fast-paced, ever-evolving world, the ability to adapt and think flexibly is more crucial than ever. Whether it’s navigating personal relationships, tackling workplace challenges, or simply trying to keep up with the latest technological advancements, a rigid mindset can leave us feeling left behind and ill-equipped to handle life’s curveballs.

What's the innovation angle?
Let’s start by demystifying this psychological concept. In formal terms, cognitive rigidity refers to a tendency to persist in a particular thought pattern or behavior, even when it’s no longer adaptive or beneficial. It’s like being stuck in a mental rut, unable to shift gears or consider alternative perspectives.

The article goes on to identify common traits with the mindset.
Difficulty in shifting attention or focus
Resistance to change or new ideas
Inflexible problem-solving approaches
Black-and-white thinking patterns
Struggle with ambiguity or uncertainty
Sounds like my "innovation killers" list which I so often share!

Tough choice...
Honestly, at the bottom of the barrel, the nuance in the sludge is almost beside the point. We have an evil #Emperor with no #cognitive clothes (but a "big, beautiful, uh, brain" with the most terrific #BrainSpurs anyone's ever seen before. "Perfect, really".
#Guest #article by Dipl. Ing. #Jürgen #Uphoff: “#Freiheit wird uns nicht geschenkt... Zum Problem der #Willensfreiheit”
My older article "Free Willy - Ruf der Freiheit für den #freienwillen (https://philosophies.de/index.php/2023/08/31/ruf-der-freiheit-fuer-den-freien-willen/) had inspired him to write his #essay. Jürgen's paper attempts to shed light on the concept of “freedom” from a #historical and #sociocritical #perspective and not just from the point of view of #cognitive #neuroscience.

#GuestContribution Dr. #Wolfgang #Stegemann: #Emergence of #consciousness
I share a fondness for #epistemology and #theory of #science with Wolfgang. What separates us a little, however, are our different approaches and #concepts for describing the phenomenon of consciousness. In my view, Wolfgang always wants to link consciousness with the special #cognitive #capabilities of the #human #brain and locate everything there.
