Innovation is not just for the “creative department.” Whether you work with marketing, manufacturing, human resources, sales, engineering, operations, or even finance, you need innovative ideas to solve recurring and new problems. Innovation is everyone’s business, regardless of job title or function. Innovation happens when creativity meets application, whether that is in a new thought, a new or updated product, an improved process, or an organizational transformation. Fully utilized innovation involves both development and implementation; and it includes both breakthrough thinking and incremental improvements.
Why is innovation an increasing necessity in our world? In light of increasing competition and globalization, with customers demanding more personal and responsive service, innovation is a vital part of increasing revenues, improving cost efficiency, maximizing intellectual capital, and inspiring and engaging the workforce. The familiar maxim “if you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always got” is no longer true. Continuing to do what you have always done, and doing things the same way that they have always been done, will result in rapid decline - even failure.
Everyone can be an innovator, but the innovation process can take very different forms. Just as you communicate, think, and manage with a preference towards certain methods and patterns, innovation also occurs in different ways for different people.
