Newswise — Babson Executive Education's Center for Business Innovation has announced a collaborative research effort with The de Bono Group, LLC, -- an international consulting group -- to help business organizations better understand the internal barriers that often prevent real growth and innovation.
Entitled, Increasing Innovation Effectiveness and Productivity, the research initiative will explore how traditional methods of thinking and analysis can actually hamper innovation and weaken returns.
Additionally, research will investigate answers to such questions as:
"¢ Is analysis an enhancement or impediment to innovation effectiveness?"¢ What impact does evaluating ideas through past experience have on the end result?"¢ How do power and authority inhibit ownership of innovation initiatives?
Research results will be presented by James P. Carlisle, President of The de Bono Group, LLC, at the Innovation 2.0 Summit held at the Babson Executive Conference Center at Babson College, Wellesley, MA on March 17th and 18th, 2009.
