Innovation means so many things: new-product development, new brands, new ad campaigns, new web sites, new production processes, new designs, new strategies, new solutions to persistent problems, and a great deal more.
Truth is, you need to innovate to succeed in your working life. The creative, forward-thinking people are the ones who make their mark and get ahead. It’s often risky to try new things or propose new approaches, but it’s even more risky to play it safe and close your mind to creative change. If you don’t take the lead as an innovator in yout workplace and your field, you can bi quite sure that somebody else will.
Business neet to innovate too and by business, mean any organizations where people work, including startups, small businesess, big businesess, government offices and agencies, schools, hospitals, thaters, museums, temples, and churches.
There’s a great need for innovators. In fact, that’s really all we need right now. People who resist change and don’t want to discuss new options and ideas are of no use to the world today, if they ever were. We humans are the innovators. Innovation is what separates us from all other life forms on this planet, and what creates the social and economic growth that we need to nurture to prevent future economic meltdowns.
