Innovation is a mindset
Is innovation a process? Is it a strategy? Is it a benchmark, a cross-functional
team, or a new-to-the-world process? Is innovation a management technique
or a leadership responsibility? The answer is that when innovation is done
well, it is all of the above and more. A truly innovative organization has
developed a mindset that permeates every aspect of its business. There is no
halfway measure. That is because innovation is a pervasive attitude, a
feeling, an emotional state, an ongoing commitment to newness. It is a set of
values that represents a belief in seeing beyond the present and making that
vision a reality.
