THE POWER OF REFLECTION: HOW THINKING IMPROVES LEARNING & PERFORMANCE

Giada Di Stefano joins to discuss the her work on the surprising benefits of reflection.

Her work shows how valuable it can be to the learning process and that in some situations it’s more beneficial than additional practice.

LEARNER WORKSHOPS

Giada Di Stefano is an Associate Professor of Strategy at Bocconi University.

Her general research interests lie in the broad area of strategy and innovation. More specifically, she studies the factors that foster or inhibit the creation and transfer of knowledge, within and across organizations. From a methodological standpoint, her research is prevalently mixed-method, with a focus on experiments and field work more broadly. To this end, she has partnered with a number of organizations to conduct experiments “in the wild.” Her work is often conducted in the context of creative industries, broadly defined – from gourmet cuisine to science, from computer programming to academia.

Her papers have been published in top academic journals including the Academy of Management Journal, Management Science, Organization Science, and Strategic Management Journal. Her research has also been featured on the Financial Times.
