Inspirational Intuition – Bridge to Future Viability

The management of companies should recognize the important role of the intuitive competence of employees and make it available for knowledge generation. There is a special role and relevance of Inspirational Knowledge Imagination, for creating inventions and innovations, as a source of competitive advantage and future viability. A newly developed inventory for self-estimation of intuitive competence helps to unlock these competitive advantages. Based on a selective analysis of relevant literature research and studies, a ten-question questionnaire was created using a Likert scale for the self-estimating Inspirational Knowledge Imagination Inventory (IKII-10). The originally designed questionnaire was tested and extractable principal components were found, using Principal Component Analysis. This is done to describe Inspirational Intuition in more detail so that it could be further approached in terms of content. Possible applications of the intuitive, inspirational competence in the innovative business context, will give the management suggestions for professional use of the intuitive abilities and their targeted development. Intuitive competence, in the sense of an inspirational knowledge imagination, can promote the development of new knowledge and build an intuitive bridge to an imaginary and divined world.
