| description | Innovating is an attitude towards the world.For humanity to improve its capabilities to innovate, then innovation, as an individual capability with social value, must be nurtured since birth, in every human being, along with the full toolset of values, such as liberty, responsibility, solidarity, compassion, honesty, among others. A foundation for the acquisition and maturation of the innovation attitudes in an individual lay on its basic drive to question the world, to understand, i.e. model it, and in such process, to identify perplexities that confront him as problems to be solved or opportunities to be addressed. I consider the development and maturation of these capabilities in each individual an essential responsibility of academic institutions. To adopt encompassing processes for providing learning environments, for the students to acquire and develop innovation capabilities, Academic Institutions need to refurbish their production tool set, so that it acquires inherent innovation capabilities in all the dimensions of the academic activities. This is perhaps the biggest challenge today for these Institutions, because it requires massive reprogramming of the Professors mindsets and practices. |
