Christensen Institute

The data is clear: students want networks. When asked what skill they most regret not cultivating in college, nearly half of recent graduates cited networking, according to a 2020 Strada-Gallup College Alumni poll. The data is also clear that access to networks is not equally distributed: first-generation students and students of colour are much less likely than their peers to participate in networking with alumni or to talk to faculty about their career interests.

You can watch a movie where the creator of the paradox – Jerry B Harvey, tells the story of how he realised the presence of this paradox and how prevalent it is in all walks of our lives.

3 Ways to Make More Time Weekly for Innovation

BrainZooming

Here’s an admission: spending my corporate career at one company in the business-to-business world, we had to fight for focused time to innovate. This was especially true in the early years.
