"Jugend forscht" ("youth researches") is a common (anti-?) pattern of GermanLanguage speaking managers. It is named after a popular competition for german students about innovations and inventions. Saying "This is JugendForscht" is often used as a negative form of RespondingToChange. It means: The suggestion is immature, it does not DoSimpleThings. Using JugendForscht during a BrainStorming session is an AntiPattern. --RainerWasserfuhr Example: http://www.manager-magazin.de/ebusiness/artikel/0,2828,261500-2,00.html The Competition website: http://www.jugend-forscht.de
