Sparkling Innovation in the New Year
Creativity vs. Innovation : Creativity is infused with an inner cohesion and comes from a vision of uniqueness.

Innovation is about reinventing the business direction and purpose at any time. It defines strategy, profitability, and relevance at any given time. If you do not, you become commoditized and just like so many others who offer the same product or service. Innovation allows one to stand out and above the rest.

Innovation is then the management discipline to transform those novel ideas and achieve their business value. Many think there is no innovation without inclusiveness.

And how can you help to improve the harvest of the creative seed and accelerate the advancement of the society?

So what’s the correlation between creativity and consciousness?
Creativity and Incubation: Creativity is still a serendipity, for both scientists and artists. In the case that it is a means to creativity, how do you reconcile intellectual isolation with ideological statements like "never stop learning"?! What’s the specific way to stimulate your creativity?The “Future of CIO” Blog has reached 2.3 million page views with about #4300th blog posting in 59+ different categories of leadership, management, strategy, digitalization, change/talent, etc. The content richness is not for its own sake, but to convey the vision and share the wisdom. Blogging is not about writing, but about thinking and innovating the new ideas; it’s not just about WHAT to say, but about WHY to say, and HOW to say it. It reflects the color and shade of your thought patterns, and it indicates the peaks and curves of your thinking waves. Unlike pure entertainment, quality and professional content takes time for digesting, contemplation and engaging, and therefore, it takes time to attract the "hungry minds" and the "deep souls." It’s the journey to amplify diverse voices and deepen digital footprints, and it's the way to harness your innovative spirit.
