On a personal note: Please excuse grammatical errors, typos, repetition, and any general nonsense, and such in this post. I am getting a bit older now, and I have about 20,000 pages of information that must get published before I leave the mortal coil. I simply write and publish more than my humble editors are able to correct. If you find enough errors you are welcome to contact me about being an editor of my work.

A 2 - Minute Read
Some individuals take their creative sparks to the next step. Here they may apply these sparks and birth new ideas, or build new forms, devices, methods, and concepts from them. This we call innovation, for lack of a more definitive word. Innovation is often also viewed as the application of better solutions that meet new requirements, unarticulated needs, or existing social or business needs. Such innovation takes place through the creation of more-effective products, processes, services, technologies, or business models. Today we usually learn about these innovations through social networking, as consumers, and memes
At its very core, innovation is both a process and an outcome. An innovation is something original and more effective and, as a consequence, new. These processes and outcomes can appear in many forms. Some innovations slowly evolve and become part of the fabric of society. Other innovations, often because of advances in technology and Big Data* are considered disrupters as they break into society. Examples of these disruptive innovations would include smart devices like personal computers, tablets, cell phones, eBay, Paypal, Amazon, Uber, etc.
“Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.”
— Vincent van Gogh
Innovation is related to, but not the same as, invention, as innovation is more apt to involve the practical implementation of an invention (i.e., new/improved ability) to make a meaningful impact in the market or society, and not all innovations require an invention. Innovation often manifests itself via the engineering process, when a constraint* that is being addressed or a problem being solved is of a technical, physical, or scientific nature.
The Takeaway
Information technology and changing business processes and management style can produce a work climate favorable to creativity and cutting-edge innovation both in arts organizations and traditional businesses. For example, the software tool company Atlassian conducts quarterly “Ship It Days” in which employees may work on anything related to the company’s products. Google employees work on self-directed projects for 20% of their time (known as Innovation Time Off). Both companies cite these bottom-up processes as major sources for new products and features.
….and remember, prepping is not a dress rehearsal!
