Stronger connection to innovation than field of study.
People don’t even “ learn anything” inside their Comfort Zone.
Tend to be people with “Growth” mindsets. (Dweck)
Organizations need to learn to innovate.

INNOVATION MINDSET:
Your personal Innovation Mindset Level is currently 7.66 out of 10
This is not a fixed level, anyone can grow their innovation mindset. Your level has been estimated using an analysis based on the Berkeley
Method for Entreprenuership & Innovation, the Comfort Zone Scale, and fundamental testing methods in social psychology.
The following factors are components of your innovation mindset:
TRUST level: 5.03 of 10. This is your ability to trust others.
RESILIENCE level: 10.00 of 10. This is your ability to overcome failure.
DIVERSITY level: 9.64 of 10. This is your ability to overcome social barriers.
MENTAL STRENGTH level: 8.83 of 10. This is a measure of your confidence and belief that you can succeed.
COLLABORATION level: 4.61 of 10. This is your ability to work with everyone including competitors when needed.
RESOURCE AWARENESS level: 5.50 of 10. This is your ability to balance your resources across multiple objectives.
INNOVATION ZONE level: 8.59 of 10. This is a measure of your ability to work in areas of uncertainty.
MINDSET ANALYSIS:
Based on your comfort with ambiguity, your MINDSET covers both operations and innovation, but LEANS towards INNOVATION. If you have
interest in operational innovation and precision, you should pre-analyze situations and focus more on risk mitigation.

We can now measure students before and after a class
and they can see how their attitudes have changed.

But if people or firms are trying to be innovative (and
Innovation Culture might be a problem)
then how can a person or firm
correct what they can not measure?
