Almost everything that is currently known about the way the human brain works was discovered in the past ten years. Recent advances in research have overturned old models of neurological operation and revolutionised the way we view our brains.  For example, in the 1980s it was believed that each person was born with a finite quota of brain cells which gradually died away over a lifetime, with no new cells being created to replace the ones that were lost. This suggested that damage to the brain could not be repaired. It is now known that the brain does renew cells and that a damaged brain can regenerate itself. Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system – the brain, spinal column, neurons and the senses. It’s not a new science, psychologists, physiologists and biochemists have long been interested in the nervous system. What is new, is the rapid pace of new discoveries in this area and the consequent application of this knowledge to everyd...

Abstract Overcoming the challenges of today and being a game-changer, major player in the future is only possible with maximizing the « Organisational Performance ». Organization’s long-term success depends on its ability to embrace two sets of capabilities that are often seen as complete opposites: exploiting its current capabilities (running the business) exploring fundamentally new competencies (changing the business) The two, when successfully brought together, create a unique competitive position.
