Knowledge Integration Seminar: Rewarding Focus
Darren Meister on Rewarding Focus: How Integrative Thinking Gets You in Trouble and Valued. In many careers, particularly those in knowledge-based domains such as technology and academia, focus and the development of deep mastery is rewarded.
This talk will discuss how a person who is inclined to lateral thinking and integrating different domains of knowledge can both frustrate and invigorate individuals, teams and organizations. Examples will be drawn from research with organizations such as Intel and Accenture and teaching experience in Canada, Asia and Europe.
Darren Meister is the Faculty Director of the HBA and MSc Programs and an Associate Professor of Information Systems at the Richard Ivey School of Business.
His interests focus on the role of technology in enhancing organizational effectiveness, specifically as it concerns innovation processes. He investigates this question primarily within three settings: technology adoption, knowledge management and interorganizational systems. His research work is conducted within companies in close cooperation with practitioners.
