You Are What You Remember: A Pathbreaking Guide to Understanding and Interpreting Your Childhood Memories
Tell me what you remember and I’ll tell tell you who you are.” With this challenge, psychologist/psychotherapist Patrick Estrade introduces his groundbreaking method to analyze and interpret childhood memories. Such memories are widely recognized as keys that unlock our internal world, direct our actions, and determine the choices we make. But unlike dreams, memories are often neglected because we have no clearly established system for interpreting them. You Are What You Remember delineates Estrade’s techniques for bringing our memories to consciousness and understanding how they inform our existence-all to the end of developing a fuller, more satisfying life and relationships. .

R&D Comes to Services: Bank of America's Pathbreaking Experiments (HBR OnPoint Enhanced Edition)
At the heart of business today lies a dilemma: Our economy is increasingly dependent on services, yet our innovation processes remain oriented toward products In this article, Harvard Business School professor Stefan Thomke points out the challenges of applying the discipline of formal R&D processes to services. Most service companies have not established rigorous, ongoing R&D processes, Thomke says. But the author provides an in-depth look at a five-step process that Bank of America has used to create new service concepts for retail banking. The company has turned a set of its branches into, in effect, a laboratory where a corporate research team conducts service experiments with actual customers during regular business hours, measures results precisely and compares them with those of control branches, and pinpoints attractive innovations for broader rollout. The article describes the program's workings, its successes, and the obstacles the bank faced. The effort reveals an enormous amount about what a true R&D operation might look like inside a service business, he concludes..

Managing Path-Breaking Innovations: CERN-ATLAS, Airbus, and Stem Cell Research (Technology, Innovation, and Knowledge Management)
Path-breaking innovations are about instigating fundamental changes in people, organizations, communities, and economies They are complex, continuous, and evolutionary processes that take considerable time, resources, and the efforts of many individuals and organizations to be accomplished succesfully. Representing distinct departures from existing practices, they differ from other types of innovation, such as product extensions and incremental improvements. By examining path-breaking innovation processes through in-depth analysis of science and technology initiatives at CERN-ATLAS, Airbus, and in stem cell research, the authors explore and illuminate how profound changes in product, process, and service can be explained and managed. Covering such issues as organizational culture, types of knowledge, and large-scale project management and resource distribution, the authors consider the practical implications of radical innovation for scientific, organizational, institutional, and political leaders concerned with channeling innovation toward economic growth..
