“The workers of the future will recognize that their success does not lie in their ability to learn a skill (writing software, writing legal briefs, reading x-rays, providing technical support, etc) and then apply it repeatedly to pre-defined problems.

Instead, success will be in their ability to use creativity and innovation to solve unique problems, forge new frontiers, invent killer products and quickly adjust to changing market demands and economic forces “

"Imagination is more important than knowledge“ Albert Einstein


• Creativity is thinking up new things.

• Innovation is doing new things.

--- Theodore Levitt

Why Innovation?

• Actually why not?• Who doesn’t have ambitions to get better?• Who can be better without a new idea?• How can anybody have a tree without a seed and

without watering the seed?

• imitations and blind copying works sometimes but not always and is never sustainable and never with high returns.

• On the other hand genuine new ideas make real differentiation.


Modern business witnessed a wave toward organizing business activities under umbrella of

what is called MANAGEMENT.

Open Innovation

• Leaders that are able to develop the described set of new management practices are well prepared for creating new and open business models and market spaces, rather than competing with commoditized products and services in an existing industry.

• Open innovation means gathering new ideas from sources beyond organizational boundaries.

• One of the great skills of clever entrepreneurs and innovators is to see the linkages between seemingly unrelated issues. This is where in the open innovation model, broadly skilled technologists and open minded thinkers come to the fore.

RECOMMENDATION TO FUTURE ORGANIZATIONS

(THOSE WHO WILL SURVIVE ALL CHALLENGES)


Start an Innovation Initiative

• There is undocumented, unofficial Innovation in all modern organizations why not to organize it?


Is it optional?

• Yes and NO

• Yes for those who don’t care about being at the top.

• No for those who believe that INNOVATION can make a difference for their business.


It doesn't cost much!

• Yes, Innovation programs and Initiatives cost less than most other initiatives that drain money in repetitive activities.

• ROI (Return On Innovation) is obvious in most cases.

• Ends up to be an Internal affair after know-how is gained.

• Counts on utilizing a lot of brain wastage that HR or Operational departments can’t measure. This explains why it doesn’t cost much.

Why not to get external help in building an Innovative Organization?


Internal Innovation

External Innovation


1. Gain experience on best practices.

2. Benefit of the falls of others in similar industry.

3. Keep staff focus on core activities rather than trying how to build innovation internally.
