Innovation

Being innovative is about thinking differently, acting differently, adding value differently to solve problems differently.

Being innovative is a state of mind that combines restless dissatisfaction with the current state coupled with the excitement to identify patterns and make unusual connections to generate novel ideas, find innovative solutions that will produce great results. It’s always important to awaken inquisitiveness, unlocking a significant amount of collective potentiality.

Innovation & allude: Creativity implies “out-of-box” thinking. Great things don't happen inside your comfort zone or in a box. When someone asks you to "think outside the box" - they give you hints, throw conventional wisdom and linear logic out of mind, let the creative mind run free for a while. In today's competitive environment, what was outside the box yesterday, can become the new normal soon. So our thinking has to continuously evolve, adapt, and prepare for change, generating fresh ideas constantly.

It’s important to recognize and develop people who have the intellectual curiosity to dig into the root cause; connect the unusual dots, see through the issues from different perspectives, look around and beneath the corner, and figure out better ways to do things. There are not such things as too much outside the box thinking, but it's always critical to shape the newer box to generate great ideas and stay focused. Innovators question, discover clues hidden inside the puzzle, experiment, observe the consequences of their actions, make inferences about those consequences, and draw implications for future actions.

Innovation & quest: People are creative human beings facing fierce competitions and lots of uncertainties. There is indeed a lot of struggle, at every step of transformative changes. Yet, the struggle is what keeps us going. We can survive only if we make progress. And that progress comes by discovering more, exploring new possibilities. The quest must never cease. We must push on for new hopes, and reach higher horizons. This requires us to come out of our comfort zone, and makes a lot of things possible. That can only be made through relentless innovation.

Keep a curious mind and discovery eyes, stretch limitations; stop creating boundaries, take long leaps, wide jumps. The more ideas you share, the more fresh views come to you. The virtue of human evolution is being novel in finding solutions to the common problems facing human races. There are people who argue for their limitations, and there are people who cast aside their fetters to explore and make progress. We should have faith in ourselves and appreciate great people who support us.

Innovation & Fruitful: Whether we like it or not, humans are unique, people are different because we think and like different things. good ideas nearly never emerge spontaneously. They need to seed and mature. Listen, ask questions, generate fruitful ideas; give and receive feedback, deal with creative tensions; make these innovative brainstorming fruitful. Innovation is like growing a garden. Sow innovation seeds, growing them fruitfully and reaping the benefit.

Creativity perhaps involves some level of discomfort and interdisciplinary transcendence. Creativity can be nurtured by an open working or learning environment in which people learn to think out of the box, generate fruitful ideas, and solve all kinds of problems in alternative ways. To get the fruitful results from creativity, you have to enjoy the freedom of thinking, imagining, communicating metaphorically, trying, observing, learning, doing, failing, and improving, etc.

Creativity urges us to change and figure out better ways to solve problems. Being innovative is about thinking differently, acting differently, adding value differently to solve problems differently. Creativity today asks for a more advanced mindset, global knowledge, and culture intelligence, etc. Innovation is about taking alternative ways to solve old or emergent problems creatively, to brighten the environment with long-lasting effects.
