Innovation

What is Innovation?

It is the ability to apply creative thinking to:

  • convert ideas or situations into new, value-added products, services or processes
  • develop new uses for existing products or services

The innovation process consists of developing, applying, launching, advancing and managing the growth and maturity of creative ideas - something most of us do every day without realising it.

Everyone has the capacity to be innovative, and many people actively want to innovate and bring creative and new ways to bear on the problems or issues faced in their work by their organisation, their clients or stakeholders.

Innovation can be:

  • simple or complex improvements
  • the modification of an existing practice or the development and implementation of a new one.
