Humantific CoFounders Elizabeth Pastor and GK VanPatter lead two hours of Inclusive Innovation exercises at the OverLap 08 Retreat in West Cornwall, Connecticut. Overlap is an annual, peer-to-peer gathering for those working at the center of emerging theory, methods and practices of innovation. Humantific believes that the present sustainability movement suffers from a content knowledge / process knowledge disconnect. To better prepare teams to tackle fuzzy complexity Humantific advocates synchronizing innovation process skills with the scale of challenges facing the planet, our communities, our organizations. Inclusive Innovation involves tools and methods to maximize collective brainpower by creating cognitively diverse and respectful environments. Process knowledge represents the flip-side of the present sustainability movement. It is a piece that is emerging as critically important as the sustainability movement begins to move beyond problem finding and into the more complex terrain of cross-disciplinary action.
