What is Innovation ?

What is Innovation ?

1) Innovation vs. Creativity

2) Innovation vs. Invention

3) Innovation Definition

4) Innovation process

Innovation vs. Creativity

1) Creativity is about unleashing the potential of the mind to conceive new ideas.

2) Creativity is subjective and hard to measure.

3) Innovation is about introducing change into relatively stable systems. It’s also concerned with the work required to make an idea viable.

4) Innovation is measurable.

Organizations often chase creativity, but what they really need to do

is pursue innovation.

Innovation vs. Invention:

1) Invention is discovering something that is entirely new.

2) Invention needs a lot of time, effort and resources or may happen by chance (Serendipity).

3) Innovation is focusing on making something new out of already existing invention.

4) Innovation gives a better impact on people and business.

Some Examples:

1) Internet

2) Microprocessors

3) Nanotechnology

4) Femtosecond (10 -15)

5) Touchscreens

6) LED

“Apple” as an example of Innovation Concept

Innovation Definition:

The process of translating an idea or invention into a good or service that creates

value or for which customers will pay.

Importance of Innovation:

1) Addressing new needs (Smartphones).

2) Solving problems in community (Underground).

3) Approaching new markets (Fanta).

4) Improving performance (Blind workers).

5) Grabbing new opportunities (Investment in Dubai).

Stages or Innovation:

1) Inspiration

2) Ideation

3) Implementation

The Innovation Process:1) Inform and Engage:• Communicate Challenge

• Help People submit ideas

2) Accept and Stretch:• Accept and group ideas

Our Brain

Mind mapping:

1) Definition

2) How to mind map ?

3) Examples

Mind mapping Definition:

A mind map is a diagram used to visually organize information.

How to mind map:1) Start in the center with an image of the topic, using at least 3 colors.

2) Use images, symbols, codes, and dimensions throughout your mind map.

3) Select key words and print using upper or lower case letters.

4) Use curved lines same as brain grooves.

5) The lines should be connected, starting from the central image. The lines become thinner as they radiate out from the center.

6) Use multiple colors throughout the mind map.

7) Develop your own personal style of mind mapping.

8) Use emphasis and show associations in your mind map.

9) Keep the mind map clear by using radial hierarchy or outlines.
