Improvements for Eindhoven Engine as innovation accelerator
General project problem description
The challenges of the Eindhoven Engine are diverse and continuously evolving. Working together, people with complementary strengths, knowledge, skills, and networks have the potential to turn nascent ideas into game-changing solutions. But such intellectual collaboration is not without its obstacles and requests game changing management. Highly ambitious teams may crumble under the weight of their potential when conflicting perspectives, personality clashes, and power struggles threaten team cohesion, trust, and information sharing, thereby inhibiting teams’ competitive edge and hampering their overall effectiveness.
There are various possible assignments in the domain of organization design and management, human interactions (trust, knowledge sharing, problem solving) creativity and innovation, and life-long learning. In particular the role of AI in the above domains is of interest.
