In this symposium, three seasoned scholars from USA, Canada and India, will present a set of ancient philosophies and traditions to discuss broadly acceptable pathways toward future-focused innovation. Drawing from their studies and experiences with Buddhist psychology, Daoist philosophy, and Hinduism respectively, they will compare and contrast behavioral approaches with an aim to offer scholars and organizational leaders a set of behavioral tools to enhance the sense of mutuality, respect, and interconnectedness, leading to elevated innovative performance of diverse teams. The aim is to invoke a synergistic thought process between the presenters and participants toward deeper understanding, not only related to the concepts discussed, but also including additional perspectives and practices toward collective future innovation.
