Innovation Intelligence – 4 Thinking Tools for Innovators

Innovation requires a diverse range of cognitive styles and personality traits. While some of these, such as IQ, are largely fixed, others are more malleable and can be improved. Emotional and social intelligence (ESI), agile intelligence (AQ), and creative intelligence (CQ) are all important components of innovation intelligence. ESI helps innovators to communicate effectively, while AQ enables them to adapt to changing circumstances. CQ allows innovators to create new solutions by recognizing patterns and making analogies. By understanding these different aspects of innovation intelligence, individuals and teams can develop strategies to improve their innovation capabilities over time.
