Objectives / questions: What is innovation? How is it different from invention? What are the sources of innovation? Why innovate? What are the pressures on us to innovate?
Definition: Innovation generally refers to renewing, changing or creating more effective processes, products or ways of doing things. For businesses, this could mean implementing new ideas, creating dynamic products or improving your existing services. Innovation can be a catalyst for the growth and success of your business, and help you adapt and grow in the marketplace. Being innovative does not mean inventing; innovation can mean changing your business model and adapting to changes in your environment to deliver better products or services. Successful innovation should be an in-built part of your business strategy and the strategic vision, where you create an environment and lead in innovative thinking and creative problem solving. http://www.business.gov.au/BusinessTopics/Innovation/Pages/Whatisinnovation.aspx
