- Why are you interested in this topic? On a motorcycle trip across Africa I encountered a pack of baboons on an oceanside cliff road. I had an innovative moment, an AHA, that saved my life. That "Wheelie Through The Baboons" launched a life long inquiry into innovation.

- How did your case studies from centuries ago discover the "innovate on command" system on their own, without the help of modern neuroscience?

- You mention the "downside of Cartesian Paradigm". What is that? 

- What percentage of the population is estimated to be self actualized and use all their God given resources?

The Purpose of the "Innovate on Command" research is to discover the specific components of the cognitive process of innovation: so that it can be replicated.

- We study serial innovators with a microscopic view to get a more precise insight into the specific techniques used by serial innovators. 

- We want to equip humanity with procedures that will aid their entrepreneurial and design activities.

- This is not an examination of general culture or attitudes, but of specific tactics. Edison had the same IQ as 3,000,000 other Americans, so what did he do to generate 900 patents? This is our research target.  

- A detailed examination of the precise moment in time when an innovative thought occurs to a proven innovator gives us a thin sliced perspective that fits the scientific model.

This is not an opinion, it is cognitive science. This is not team building, this is a skill. This is not an attempt to change a culture, it is the identification of a cognitive  pattern. This is not motivation, this is the application of insights from behavioral economics. Not new age. Not same old.

About us

Description of our research methodology:

Preface: We are in the "Beta" phase of research. Our initial results are startling, but we are refining our analytical tools and systems so that we have a quality outcome in 2017. 

​Research History
a) Analyzed 100+ biographies of successful innovators to search for clues to their specific cognitive processes for innovation. We discovered three specific procedures that were common across all innovators. 

b) Interviewed serial innovators, which included successful entrepreneurs, architects, software coders, engineers, writers and designers. The interviews confirmed the three common procedures we found in our initial phase. The more interviews we conduct, the greater our sample size, the greater the statistical validity will be. Please contact us to nominate a potential interviewee. 

c) Surveyed the general public with the same questions employed in the interviews of serial innovators. We need the largest sample size possible, so please ask your friends to participate in our survey. 

d) We compared the two groups and found distinct differences between the public and the serial innovators.

e) Found a theoretical basis to frame the cognitive procedures of serial innovators in:

        1)The work of Nobel Prize winning behavioral economist Daniel Kahnemann,

        2) The invention of the portable EEG machine allowed us to get a glimpse into the state of consciousness during the innovation process.

        3) The National Institute of Health study on focus of attention that discovered "Interrogative Self Talk" gave us an insight into the working relationship between the prefrontal cortex and the resources of the subconscious. 

Denis Greene is the primary researcher and author.

- After a 25 year career as the CEO of the company he founded, Denis went back to school to pursue his passionate interest in innovation and consciousness.
