KEY ELEMENTS OF INNOVATION
1 min. read
The opportunity to innovate is something most of us want more of in our daily work lives. Yet often, we feel we can’t be more creative at work because of factors beyond our control. Below are some key elements to bringing innovation to fruition in your position.
-
Collaboration- Teamwork is essential to getting things done. In today's global and digital 24/7 world, challenges are more complex; it's becoming increasingly important to bring more diverse minds to the table and to break down silos. The collaborative process is more than working together. It means the ability to think together and to act on complex projects.
-
Ideation- Fresh, new ideas help you, your team, and your organization stand out. With intense competition for resources, organizations must innovate in order to survive.
-
Implementation- What good are new ideas if they are not put to use? Think about the realities of an innovative idea, bring the right people into the loop, communicate a plan or process, and take in feedback to make an idea work!
-
Value Creation- You don't have innovation if your new ideas aren't creating value. Organizations must implement ideas and programs identified as most effective in delivering value to stakeholders. Some examples of creating value include incremental improvements to existing processes, creating entirely new services, or reducing costs.
