A Dynamic Theory of De-Risking Innovation (working paper)
We study how innovation projects evolve as error ecologies governed by four mechanisms—injection, detection, accumulation, and translation—that map daily and weekly routines into survival at gated milestones. We found the risk of innovating explains less than 40% of a projects likelihood of failure, and propose ways to achieve that.
Behavioral Innovation: studying the effects of cognitive biases
We study the behavioral effect of cognitive biases on innovation. We present a taxonomy to understand how biases affect behavior across 18 phases common across innovation processes. Preliminary results show how biases affect decision making and performance, generate errors, and how to prevent, detect, correct, and refine.
Meta-Analysis of Innovation Processes
This research is a meta-analysis of the benefits, shortcomings, contributions and potential of more than 300 processes and methods for innovation, engineering, development and design. Preliminary results allow for integrating methods and processes that significantly improve team and R&D performance.
A Neuro-Cognitive View of Innovation Development
We study the neural mechanisms underlying cognitive processes along innovation processes, integrating theories and methods from psychology and neuroscience. Our findings explain and prevent mechanisms that make people evade situations in which they should engage, face things that should be avoided, and prevent freezing when facing risk, uncertainty and ambiguity.

Frequently asked questions?
Why do you say innovation is more difficult than risky?
Our research shows innovation projects fail more due to unforeseen mistakes, bad assumptions and blindspots than due to the inherent risk of innovating. We have hacked innovation processes to solve that.
How do people learn to innovate?
Innovation capability-building require changes in mindset, methods, tools, skills, as well as cognitive and emotional capabilities. People learn to innovate by doing it, and reflecting on how they did it.
What commitment is required?
A commitment to personal mindset coaching requires regular attendance to sessions, openness to self-reflection and change, and a willingness to actively apply learned strategies in daily life for optimal results.
