About the Course
Focus and fresh thinking in an always-on workplace
Busy isn’t the same as innovative.
Back-to-back meetings. Constant pings. A calendar with no white space. The always-on workplace trains the brain to react, not to think. The Innovation Brain shows you how attention and focus work, what your brain is doing when you step away from a problem, and how to protect your thinking time so fresh ideas have room to show up.
The average worker gets interrupted every two minutes, 275 times a day. Fresh thinking needs a stretch of uninterrupted time. Source: Microsoft Work Trend Index, Breaking down the infinite workday (June 2025).
