Without innovative ideas, business is stagnant and can no longer exist. In other words, to innovate or die.
However, innovation is not only to activate your right brain, brainstorm and produce several “aha” moment. This is more than just dreaming of new ideas. Innovation is an act “to introduce something new” – with an emphasis on something new.
Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen has a small picture in his book The Innovator’s Dilemma on how people try to fly through the Middle Ages wings produce, bind them in their hands, jumping and clapping and really hard. In the following centuries as an innovator framed problem: people do not die hard enough flap. But never worked. Once they understand that there are some fundamental laws of nature, they need to take into account when the fluid mechanics of the Bernoulli understood well enough to the principles to articulate, then there is real laws of nature, we can exploit .
Many a good manager for this challenge is to flap their wings. They work very hard for a number of fundamental changes in how we should resist the companies when they should benefit from changes and identify opportunities to do so.
What stood in the way? Until the last century, the industry made changes in the speed control. Market development strategies years in advance and extensive product roadmap years in advance. Today, unprecedented changes in the market, technology, economics and consumer tastes constant, complex, chaotic and speed. Rapid changes have created new challenges – rapidly.
Innovation requires creativity, ability to develop new ideas. However, despite all the emphasis on more creative, every new idea is not innovative. And a lot of life changing ideas never see the light of day. Why?
Because the only way creative ideas into practice by taking risks. “The willingness to take risks is not always easy,” said Jacqueline Byrd, the brain behind the Creatrix, “especially when forced to the idea of opposition and adversity to push. Innovation requires a willingness to criticize keep frustration to accept and making mistakes. In other words, innovation means that the person or organization who is willing to push his ideas forward in a number of potential risk to their own security, career, reputation, or dignity.
Byrd, author of The Innovation Equation, presented in a recent interview, BlogTalkRadio, that every organization should ask, “Have we the stomach and the capacity to innovate?”
Strategically, it was a fundamental and important question for every organization and individual. In the coming posts, I will write more about how you or your organization, the capacity of this innovative Asses, how to determine how many beautiful, how the seven drivers of creativity and risk-taking to identify, and personality traits are nine forms of innovation.
