Ascendant Innovation
Ascendant Innovation empowers researchers and managers working on radical breakthroughs by facilitating access to deeper, non-traditional sources of insight—often beyond the limits of mainstream science. Through our consulting and facilitation, we help innovators tap into expanded states of awareness, unlock stuck thinking, and accelerate the progress of transformative ideas.
Throughout modern history, many scientists confessed that their discoveries resulted from at least one experience of alternative states of consciousness (dreaming or daydreaming). From the perspective of history, science (like art) has always benefitted from a strong connection between innovation and altered states of awareness.
Experiencing deep relaxation, lingering in daydreaming, letting imagination run wild, meditating, or even dedicating ourselves to breathing exercises . . . all these “interludes” to the baseline state of consciousness bring inner balance, peace, and joy, while fresh ideas, images, and inspiration surge onto our mental screen. The intentional and consistent practice of non-ordinary states of consciousness leads to an overall improved quality of life.
The adjective “ascendant,” from the Latin ascendere, refers to rising, either in power or influence, but it can also mean an elevated state of consciousness. This approach focuses on transformations and breakthroughs, while being aware that it is not up to us to control them, but to yield to larger wisdom, beyond the boundaries of everyday human perception.
Moreover, in the context of innovation management and business strategy, the term could also imply a competitive advantage, that of the forerunner, who acquires new knowledge from alternative states of awareness, unlike mainstream scientists and managers.
