Web Article What Innovation Isn’t

Description

Innovation in all its guises is the most popular category of business books, by far, and thousands of websites offer advice to would-be innovators. Yet very few authors on the topic have actually innovated themselves!

Is innovation a weasel word?

Innovation is not the result of some mystical creativity, culture, magic or hope. It is not a random act or a clever compromise. Innovation is a carefully planned and deliberate intervention to break an important contradiction that is limiting progress towards some new level of capability. That’s how we got from the clunky mobile phones of the past to today’s elegant, powerful, smart devices. And it’s how most important problems in business are also solved.
