- 5. What does Innovation mean? Does it
matter?
If you read something from a book, and try it…
– Is that innovation or experimentation?
If you try something small very different from what people around you are
doing…
- Is that innovation or it’s trivial?
If someone does something at another workplace, and you would like to try
it at your team…
- Is that innovation or plagiarism?
- 6. What does Innovation mean? Does it
matter?
You could quibble over innovation vs improvement!
Sometimes semantics or nomenclature does not matter
I’d like to hear what works for you. As simple as that..
… Some tactic that you learned from somewhere
…. Some business idea that your customers appreciated
….. Some new technology / tool that you tried
