Description

Insightslike Darwin s understanding of the way evolution actually works, and Watson and Crick s breakthrough discoveries about the structure of DNAcan change the world. We also need insights into the everyday things that frustrate and confuse us so that we can more effectively solve problems and get things done. Yet we know very little about when, why, or how insights are formedor what blocks them. Klein also dissects impediments to insight, such as when organizations claim to value employee creativity and to encourage breakthroughs but in reality block disruptive ideas and prioritize avoidance of mistakes. Or when information technology systems are dumb by design and block potential discoveries. Both scientifically sophisticated and fun to read, "Seeing What Others" Don t shows that insight is not just a eureka moment but a whole new way of understanding
