SMU Professor of Organisational Behaviour & Human Resources (Education) Thomas Menkhoff wrote a commentary about the need for policymakers in Singapore to continue to push ahead with the mission of strengthening the country’s research and development (R&D) capabilities and encouraging greater innovation. Prof Menkhoff noted that an underutilised opportunity to drive innovation is the strategic management of “intersectional innovation”. Therefore, he suggested to introduce smart people to the mindset and logic of innovation potential at intersections through the Medici Board Game. The Medici Game (developed by a Swedish learning tool developer) engages participants in discussions that lead them to challenge their beliefs and assumptions around good – or not so good – management practices for fostering innovation-friendly conditions and a creative environment.
