It is in no way the road to the future. In a fast changing environment the only way to progress is to be part of that change. Having the vision and the will to participate in shaping that future. Innovation is the means to that goal. Looking back is a learning experience that might hone and sharpen our experiences. It is in no way the road to the future.

From my perspective, I see the following:1. You have made a strong case for Organization culture and the degree of innovativeness of the organization. I am fully with you on this construct.2. I am also with you on the reason for the difficulty experienced by people, organizations, and society when accepting Change as it requires re-programming of the mind , both individual and collective.3. Innovation for me is a process and the end result is a new product, service offering, way of doing, etc. If we reckon it as a process then it easily fits into the culture construct .4. Patents etc., are one of the end result of Culture of Innovation. There has to be a tangible outcome. I do not believe in the concept of having something just because it sounds and makes one feel good.5. I am not able to see the connect with the supposed impact on Global Culture, which was your original question in the LinkedIn group. When you see with my Asian lens, where culture has evolved over millennium, you will experience the difficulty that I am having with this idea.6. I like the concept of associative fluency as that describes to me the reason why some individuals are different to the cultural constructs that they are part of. If we examine closely, it is such individuals who have brought seismic changes in our society.In conclusion, and as my take on your original question, I believe that organizational cultures are far too minuscule to make an impact on Global Culture. Innovation will primarily be led by individuals, and an enabling culture can at best facilitate it. Food for Thought: US of A would have the highest per capita patents filed and owned in the world. The Culture of US of A is highly individualistic symbolized by the protagonist in Ann Rand's writings.
