To date, we’ve been featuring Top Takeaways from our Innovative Idea Champions – the key points that our innovators walked away with from the 2009 Innovation Summit. Today we feature the first Top Takeaways from our Innovators-in-Residence.

Today’s featured Innovator-in-Residence is Mindy Hernandez. Since you got to hear about some of her great work in yesterday's post, I figured it would be great for you to hear directly from Mindy today. Mindy is a senior research specialist for Princeton University and Ideas42, a project of the Institute for Quantitative Social Science at Harvard University. Through her residency with CFED, Mindy has developed an online platform, Applying Behavioral Sciences in the Real World. The platform, aimed at using the field of behavioral economics to understand the thought processes that underlie economic decision making, is on the cutting edge of behavioral economics research.

Mindy’s Top Takeaways are:

So many valuable connections were made at the Innovation Summit. It would have taken us many months to meet the potential collaborators, practitioners, and thought partners I met in a few hours at the Summit.

The Brain Trust gave us critical insights about the best ways to move our project forward and raise important concerns and questions that we had not yet considered. Following up after the Summit on these ideas has improved the design of our project.

Thanks, Mindy, for sharing with us the many ways your innovation was improved by meeting with other innovators who brought their fresh perspectives to your concept!
