The previous post (the one sent on George Smiley and Seth), values curiousness.

In many health care arenas, there is a love of competitions and prizes.  These tend to be for innovation, not adoption and adaption.

My critique of prizes?  They pander to the default health care culture of pursuing the discovery of creative new ideas and then using conferences/papers to show your brilliance.

In contrast, the alternative approach focuses with a deep interest into what you can use from others’ research and practice.

In our 4C model (at end of this link) we sum that for many organisations and individuals, creativity and communication is more the norm, not curiousness to seek out things to copy.
