Breakthroughs begin with Curiosity

Now and then we tend to get a little tied-down with our daily working routines. Without noticing, we can quickly slip into autopilot – forgetting to ask questions or taking time to embrace the new and unfamiliar. Curiosity conquers routine. Find out how curious you are and learn to train your curiosity now. 

Since 2016, our Curiosity Initiative has communicated the benefits of increased workplace curiosity. But, are we (as a company) really curious? And, more importantly, how are we doing, when comparing our curiosity with employees from other companies. We invited our colleagues in 23 countries to share thoughts on curiosity’s role in the workplace. Explore the fascinating results and learn more about our commitment to curiosity.

Our 2020 State of Curiosity Report is a continuation of research carried out in a 2018 global study – which posed the same questions to 3,004 respondents in the US, Germany, and China. Respondents of the 2018 study came from five different sectors (Healthcare, Public Administration, Scientific R&D, Technology and Manufacturing), and were not associated with our company.

We believe that curiosity is the driving force behind human progress and development. And while the future poses many challenges and uncertainties, we're convinced that curiosity can help mankind navigate its unchartered terrain with confidence and optimism.
