Everyone from business leaders to policymakers wants to spur innovation. But how, exactly, is that done? For a long time, it seemed there may not be a clear answer to that question.<\/h3>\n
\n

\u201cInnovation and creativity can seem almost magical,\u201d says\u00a0Ben Jones<\/a>, a strategy professor at the Kellogg School, \u201clike they might defy systemic insight.\u201d<\/p>\n

But in the past decade or so, a wealth of data on innovation and innovators has become available, meaning researchers like Jones can dig in to find patterns.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have data on every new business started in the United States in the last 10 years and every founder of all those businesses. We have data on every patent and all the inventors. We have data on every scientific article published around the world,\u201d Jones explains.<\/p>\n

Jones has studied these data and his research points to ways the business community and local and national governments are missing opportunities to invest in the right places.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we\u2019re leaving an enormous amount on the table and we\u2019re really underperforming as a society,\u201d Jones says. He discussed some of these findings during a recent The Insightful Leader Live webinar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
