Super happy to share that my paper "Group creativity in the wild: when building on ideas enhances the generation and selection of creative ideas" together with Barry Bayus Marketing at UNC Kenan-Flagler is one of Wiley's top 10 cited articles of 2022/2023 in Creativity and Innovation Management journal. #TopCitedArticle We wanted to verify whether the famous #brainstorming practice of "building on ideas" really leads to generate better ideas! We found that this is not the case: Building on creative ideas does increase your creativity but building on uncreative/familiar ideas decreases your creativity! Bouncing on ideas is as much a vicious circle as it is a virulent one! So for your next creative session, be careful about the ideas you bounce on... if you don't want to come away with lots of really bad ideas...

In this short video, Stefan Kaufman provides a snapshot of the Systems Thinking and Behaviour chapter of our new book, Inspiring Change: How to influence behaviour for a better world. Stefan talks about why systems thinking is important to behaviour change, primarily the role of systems thinking in encouraging broad thinking about the problem before focusing on behaviours, audiences, behavioural influences, and measuring impact to ensure energy and effort are not invested in areas that are sub-optimal or even counterproductive. The other authors of this chapter were Dr Denise Goodwin, Jennifer Macklin and Peter Slattery, PhD.

This new #IJMR #literaturereview shows how the literature on public value has evolved and re-configured. It categorizes how value is defined, it introduces a novel mixed-methods approach and provides novel conceptual contributions. https://lnkd.in/d_GGcWq5 Copenhagen Business School #business #research

I am thrilled to receive my copy in the post today of "What works, What doesn't (and When): Case Studies in Applied Behavioral Science". It was an honour to contribute to Chapter 5 "Translating Interventions to Improve Competence, Motivation, and Support of Heating Professionals to Increase Energy Efficiency in Swiss Buildings" with Ulf Hahnel, Christian Mumenthaler, PhD, and Tobias Brosch. The chapter describes the multimodular intervention we tested to promote more energy-efficient behaviors in heating technicians. Our results illustrate the value of taking into account the different levels of the organizational context and the importance of leadership support in fostering behavior change. Our work has practical implications for organisations looking to drive behaviour change as part of their sustainability strategy.

📢 New paper alert ❗ – a new article explores how Concept-Knowledge design principles support the microfoundations of mission-oriented interdisciplinary collaborations.   The study by Rafaela Costa Camoes Rabello, Katharina Ruckstuhl, Paul Woodfield, Olga Kokshagina and Susan Sandretto from Peterson Projects and Solutions (Indonesia), Auckland University of Technology, EDHEC Business School and University of Otago, focuses on a mission-oriented New Zealand science innovation programme, Science for Technological Innovation (SfTI) comprising of nine large research projects.   Key takeaways: ▶ By building on the knowledge mapping design principle, participants shared their individual expertise by drawing on their motives for establishing a collaboration ▶ Concept exploration such as negation, inversion and abstraction enabled participants to bridge different disciplines in innovative and enjoyable ways ▶ The principle of mindful deviation encouraged creative exploration by challenging some participants to revise their fixated knowledge and force them to explore beyond their disciplinary and institutional roles and domains   Practical implications: 👉 Design-led principles and a formalised approach help individuals overcome barriers to cross-organisation interdisciplinary research in a way that enabled thinking “differently” and generating “creative ideas” 👉 Design principles can offer a formalised structure that enhances creativity thereby providing the collaborative direction to bottom-up innovation necessary to address societal missions   Read the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/dXHReq-F   #openaccess #designprinciples #missiondriven #transdisciplinary #rndmanagement

🚀 Maximising the Economic and Social Value of Research Portfolios: Successful Completion of Our Pilot Programme! 🚀 I was thrilled to see the successful delivery of the final session of our latest innovative training programme 'Research to Value', which aims to unlock the latent commercial opportunities hidden within research portfolios.  Great to work with Zach Sorrells to create this programme after we had a flash of inspiration talking to Orla Kelly who commissioned it. It saw pairs of professional service staff and researchers buddy up to learn an innovation management process to define commercial opportunities and the unknowns associated with them. The pairs learned ‘fast and cheap’ methods essential for validating and quantifying opportunities to fit within the time constraints of competing work priorities. This 'live case study' methodology ensured the programme was output-focused and an investment of time rather than taking time out. Six pairs from different Scottish Universities took part and the feedback has been amazing. We’ll share more fully what we’ve learned when we’ve completed the evaluation.

Much of life and business comes down to making choices. But how do you make decisions? We might like to think that we carefully collect and assess information, consider the outcomes dispassionately, and reach a rational decision: but how often can that really be the case? Who hasn’t found themselves making a snap judgement based on first impressions, on gut feeling, or half-heard rumours coming down the grapevine? Rather than suggesting that this is a mistake, this session will simply accept that this is how we all reach decisions and aim to draw out the influences that shape us Read more about the CMCE Next Gen 2.0 series and register for the first workshop here https://lnkd.in/dUeVr7BW #behaviouraleconomics #emotionaleconomics #imaginedfutures #techfutures #managementconsulting

Now's your time to build your change-making practice - apply to the Strategic Foresight & Innovation program at OCAD. As an alumni of this program, I can honestly say it has deeply impacted my work, my networks and my ability to make a positive impact in our world. The disciplines covered through the course are more important than ever today.
