How can we create big value again with innovation, and what will humans do, anyway, in the age of robots? We’ll cross the boundaries we’ve set up – boundaries of industry, field, nation, and more – and create the radical, novel, and unexpected.
But how? Just as nuclear fusion produces massive energy from combining two nuclei, a Fusion in business, technology, and the arts can release massive value –creating whole new companies, industries, and human capabilities. These 30 “Fusioneers“ have done it. Their stories are here, with a framework and insights, so more of us might create more good in the world, as they have – with Fusion.
What will you learn
What are these 'Micro-Learning Courses' in the suite about?
Fusion 1 introduces you to what we believe is the "next wave" – high-value lateral innovation. As the first part of a 7-part suite, you'll learn why it's important, high-level concepts, and a few tidbits we thought were especially interesting and useful.
In Fusion 2, we share with you the stories of 6 world-class lateral innovators – who they are and how it happened. They illustrate Outward Openness – the first part of the Fusion model of lateral innovation. Each story concludes with questions to help you develop your own outward openness. Are you open to the next step?
…
In Fusion 3, you’ll learn about the lives and innovations of 6 people who illustrate Inward Openness, the second part of the Fusion innovation model. Each story concludes with questions to help you explore your own inner design. What will you discover about yourself and your own creative mission?
Fusion 4 shares with you the lives and creative journeys of 6 “Fusioneers” who collected an eclectic array of knowledge, skills, people, and more into unique mental workshops (part three of the Fusion innovation model). Each story concludes with questions to help you craft a new educational journey for yourself. What will you collect? What will you create out of your own unique workshop?
In Fusion 5, you’ll learn about the lives and innovations of 6 creative leaders and how they see the world differently (part four of the Fusion innovation model). Each story concludes with questions to help you see differently, too, and spot opportunities others miss. Where will you go? What will you see?
In Fusion 6, we share the lives and journeys of 6 innovators who integrated a piece of this and a piece of that into a fusion that created radical value (part five of the Fusion innovation model). Each story concludes with questions to help you discover problems and pieces and consider how you might integrate them, too. Will you be a Fusioneer?
Fusion 7 “pulls it all together,” sharing with you what we learned across all 30 Fusioneers and their innovation journeys, most of which resulted in entrepreneurship or intrapreneurship. You’ll have a chance to pull your own pieces together into a new Fusion and evaluate whether it’s a passion, mission, profession, vocation, or “ikagai.”
