Understanding the sensory and cognitive abilities of innovators
Following on from my first post on building an Innovator’s Sensory profile, the combination of various cognitive, emotional and environmental factors heightens our awareness, so I needed to explore this further in this post.
I wanted to build out some thinking based on the question, “Can we unlock the innovator’s potential through understanding their sensory and cognitive abilities?”
It is our ability to develop the capacities to learn, absorb and interpret information and how this all interacts becomes the essential interplay that can give us a continuous feedback loop, shaping perceptions, thoughts and actions. This shapes what we do and how we can respond to navigate an increasingly dynamic and ever-changing world.
The recognized simpler view of innovators having essential cognitive skills is made up of generally needing to associate, question, observe, network and experiment and should be part of the innovator’s DNA. I would argue we need to go deeper to build out innovators’ skills and abilities to provide distinctive value; value gives us worth!
So, what contributes to having enhanced innovation capabilities to gain a potential competitive advantage?
