ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the curiosity in the future just as author measure the ability to innovate. The innovative organization is irritatingly curious. It stops and examines contexts; it turns things upside down, dissects challenges, and looks at them from many angles. Let's create the framework for showing the original definition of curiosity: Curiosity is an inborn motivation and urge to examine something closely, accompanied by information-seeking behavior, which results in a better understanding of a given area and gradually diminishes what the unusual in it is. Let us recognize curiosity as the key to innovation and cultivate it as a natural driving force. The Constant Questioner gets a slap and is sent to bed because he's curious. Curious George gets into all sorts of potentially dangerous situations because he's seduced by his curiosity. The Constant Questioner should stop asking all those "stupid" questions, and Curious George should rein in his curiosity.
