Innovation and Collaboration in the Digital Era : The Role of Emotional Intelligence for Innovation Leadership and Collaborative Innovation
Innovation and Collaboration in the Digital Era provides a holistic approach to collaborative innovation, innovation management and innovation leadership.It is full of practical advice and includes 34 interviews with high-level politicians, innovation industry leaders, academics and entrepreneurs discussing the reality of innovation and how to create change for a positive impact.Many quotes are included from researchers and practitioners in the innovation field who have participated as guests in the author’s podcast “Business of Collaboration” or in interviews with the Collabwith Magazine which she produces. This is a powerful book full of practical frameworks and one-page canvases which act as reminders of the value of making needs and expectations explicit.The author provides frameworks and tools that can be used to support collaboration journeys across different sectors and organizations.She also offers clarity to the reader for their innovation journey and brings a new perspective on how to innovate and understand innovation. Jara Pascual focuses on the importance of managing emotions and feelings of frustration which can be very common during a collaborative innovation process.She explores the interaction between Emotional Intelligence and business and shows how to remove and manage frustration and how to produce a positive outcome. Innovation and Collaboration in the Digital Era will empower the reader to take action and show how to change your conversation about innovation and collaboration. “Jara Pascual, with colleague Celia Avila-Rauch, has been able to distill and apply the ability model of emotional intelligence to the art and science of innovation and innovation leadership.In our work we note that feelings are not always facts but that emotions as a form of data.More than that, emotions can assist or facilitate with decision making, creativity and innovation rather than getting in the way, but only if leaders are “smart” about emotions and develop and deploy their emotional intelligence skills.” Dr David R Caruso, Emotional Intelligence Skills Group, Founder Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, Research Affiliate

From 1839 when it was invented, photography has served to create portraits of individuals, and soon thereafter portraits of families, later placed in photo albums.Photography, collected and archived, entered the intimate sphere, enabling people to arrange the fragmented images of their lives as they saw fit.Following its forerunners (miniature portraits, silhouettes, physionotraces), the photographic portrait also served the new expectations of the emerging urban bourgeoisie and its need for social representation.Studios opened up in cities everywhere to meet the fast growing demand.In addition, the new medium distinguishted itself with its esthetic superiority. "Even as it emerged, although the technique was still very primitive, photography enjoyed an exceptional quality of artistic finish (Gisele Freund)".What can photography show us to day of the visible and invisible aspects of family sociology? "How do the roles we expect them to play betray the emotional realities and complexities of lived life?" wonders Daniel Mendelsohn, in his introduction entitled "Unknown Faces/ Redeeming Structures".By creating this corpus of fixed black and white images, each composed in a large 5'x7' frame, the photographer has produced a work of anthropological scope, reaching beyond representation by placing the subject at palpable distance, thereby objectifying it.What should we think of these seemingly impassive faces and their hypnotic gazes, what should we think of these postures, seated or standing?What goes on within these families and outside the frame?The use of a rigid protocol similar in all sessions makes every family portraits intriguing, and encourages our reflection.Inspired by the work of Bernd and Hilla Becher, whose esthetics of objectivity tended towards minimalism, Isabelle Boccon-Gibod, a self-made artist, with an interest for technique, has played with a frontality quite similar to that of the Bechers, resting on the idea that our bodies, when joined together, form a sort of architecture.The idea, also, that a face, deprived of its smile, offers a neutrality of expression worth considering: masks fall and reveal a nakedness (naked truth?) to be admired and deciphered beyond the appearances of social games.She was guided, yet not limited, by this principle: the image of a family seen as a facade-like structure, in which faces are the windows.

Upon first listen, 'Structure' - with its tendency to turn on a dime from the buzzsaw synths and string arrangements that sonically bookend tracks like 'My Love's', to the subtle, almost Squarepusher-esque rhythms that round out electronic compositions like ''Quotations''- may just seem like a further refinement of the duo's idiosyncratic approach to making music. However, repeat listens will reveal that, even though the album zigs and zags in a manner consistent with WFYE's prior releases, its line of best fit trends in a very clear direction away from the quaint affectations of their prior work and towards something more deliberate and half a shade darker. Even on ostensibly cheery tracks like album opener 'When You're Around', which, with its saccharine melodicism sounds like it could be a lost song from The Apples in Stereo or one of their Elephant 6-era labelmates, there's an underlying eeriness that's not immediately apparent until the song is listened to in the context of the full album.

Can economic efficiency and productivity develop mutually?
Yes, economic efficiency and productivity can develop mutually. When businesses and industries become more efficient in their operations, they can produce more output with the same amount of input, leading to increased productivity. Similarly, when productivity increases, it can drive economic efficiency by reducing waste and improving resource allocation. Therefore, as businesses and industries focus on improving efficiency and productivity, they can reinforce and support each other's development.
-
What is the difference between efficiency and productivity?
Efficiency refers to how well resources are utilized to achieve a specific goal or output, while productivity measures the output or results generated from a specific amount of input or resources. Efficiency focuses on minimizing waste and maximizing output with the resources available, while productivity is a measure of how much output is produced relative to the input used. In essence, efficiency is about doing things right, while productivity is about doing the right things.
-
What are the connections between efficiency and productivity?
Efficiency and productivity are closely connected in that efficiency refers to the ability to accomplish a task with minimal waste, effort, or cost, while productivity refers to the rate at which goods or services are produced. When a process or system is efficient, it can lead to increased productivity because it allows for more output to be generated with the same amount of input. Conversely, when productivity is high, it often indicates that the resources and processes are being used efficiently. Therefore, improving efficiency can lead to increased productivity, and vice versa, as they both contribute to the overall effectiveness of a business or organization.
-
Does increasing productivity lead to higher economic efficiency?
Yes, increasing productivity can lead to higher economic efficiency. When a company or economy can produce more output with the same input of resources, it can lead to lower production costs and higher profits. This can also lead to lower prices for consumers, which can increase overall economic welfare. Additionally, higher productivity can lead to increased competitiveness in the global market, which can further contribute to economic efficiency.

How to Think More Effectively : a guide to greater productivity, insight and creativity
A guide to identifying, nurturing and growing our insight and creativity for more effective thinking. We know that our minds are capable of great things because, every now and then, they come out with a very brilliant idea or two.However, our minds are also tantalisingly unpredictable, spending worryingly large stretches of time idling or distracting themselves. This is a book about how to optimise these beautiful yet fitful instruments so that they can more regularly and generously produce the sort of insights and ideas we need to fulfil our potential – and achieve the contentment we deserve.We learn – among other things – how to grasp fragile and flighty thoughts before they disappear through anxiety and fear, at what times of day to try to work and for how long, how to make use of our boredom and instincts – and how to overcome timid and predictable approaches to the largest problems.

Is creativity a form of intelligence?
Creativity can be considered a form of intelligence, as it involves the ability to think outside the box, generate original ideas, and solve problems in innovative ways. Creative individuals often demonstrate high levels of cognitive flexibility, which is a key component of intelligence. However, creativity also encompasses emotional and social intelligence, as it involves understanding and expressing oneself in unique and meaningful ways. Therefore, while creativity is a distinct form of intelligence, it also incorporates various aspects of cognitive, emotional, and social intelligence.

What is the relationship between productivity and economic efficiency?
Productivity and economic efficiency are closely related concepts. Productivity refers to the amount of output produced per unit of input, such as labor or capital. When productivity increases, more output is produced with the same amount of input, leading to greater economic efficiency. Economic efficiency, on the other hand, refers to the optimal allocation of resources to maximize output and minimize waste. Therefore, higher productivity often leads to greater economic efficiency as resources are used more effectively to produce goods and services. Conversely, lower productivity can lead to inefficiencies in resource allocation and reduced overall economic efficiency.
-
What is the difference between productivity, efficiency, and profitability?
Productivity refers to the amount of output produced per unit of input, such as time or resources. Efficiency, on the other hand, focuses on how well resources are used to achieve a specific goal or output. Profitability, meanwhile, is a measure of how efficiently a company generates profit relative to its costs and expenses. In essence, productivity is about output per input, efficiency is about resource utilization, and profitability is about the bottom line of a business.
