Abstract
Corning's technology community, charged with doubling the rate at which technology breakthroughs are transformed into major businesses, has undertaken a bold experiment in social innovation to strengthen the interactional aspects of the innovation process. The initiative, creating an inclusive culture (CiC™), leverages emotional maturity and personal transformation into enhanced organizational capabilities and competitive advantage. Built on a broader model of diversity/inclusion and the CiC™ learning model, the process equips individuals with the language, concepts, skills, and behaviors of inclusion. Next steps include building inclusivity concepts and tools into Corning's reinvigorated innovation process, with a focus on teams and work processes. © 2007 by Anthony Oshiotse and Corning Incorporated.
