With the emergence of the information age people have been promoted based on their ability to think. As information quickly became a source of competitive advantage, this ability has become more and more valued. We are inundated with data, and we expect our people to be able to keep up with it all, at the same time as being “learning agile” and developing themselves and others.
In spite of this increasing demand, business has not paid much attention to the very tool that each of us has at our disposal in this battle for competitive advantage – the brains that belong to the people who come to our workplaces each day.
Organisations such as Google are learning from the field of neuroscience and creating brain friendly workplaces and practices – giving people the means and space to think effectively, while at work.
