For Innovation
INNOVATION ≡ GROWTH
There is not an organisation in the world that would not embrace innovation that leads to productivity and growth.
Why then are there so few ground breaking pioneers in the world? We all stand in awe of creative giants like Apple, Virgin, Google, 3M, Procter and Gamble, Hewlett Packard, Nokia, BMW or Toyota…
These companies are all recognised as market leaders because they are a step ahead of their competitors. They are more creative and more innovative – they launch new products and services that others have not dreamed of.
They invest in innovation and research and are reaping the rewards because of this.
If it is so obvious that innovation leads to growth, why isn’t everybody lining up?
Often it is due to Innovation Opponents; you might have heard of these:
“It will never work”
“We have always done it this way, why change?’
“What difference can creativity make in this industry?”
“We don’t have time for innovation; we do real work around here”
“We cannot spend money creating dreams and crazy ideas”
What about your organisation? How are you scoring on the innovation barometer?
Albert Einstein said:”The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.” ; “Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.”
