Innovation

 From reactive to proactive, the goal of disciplined innovation management is to stay focused and improve the innovation success rate.

Innovation involves creating new approaches, whether tangible (like a new product) or abstract (like a new philosophy). It is essential for developing sustainable production and living methods by offering alternatives to conventional practices that predate widespread environmental awareness. 

Here is the insight from reaction to reflection in business innovation

To foster innovation, it is important to cultivate environments where numerous independent specialists can operate. Their work should be assessed based on its merits, not on adherence to traditional beliefs. This approach mirrors the principles that drive modern scientific practice and can be traced back to ancient times.

From reaction to reflection: Some organizations waste much time and tens of thousands of dollars reacting to problems/challenges, but never really solving anything, only creating more problems. So, as digital leaders or professionals, what’s your reflection: are you part of the problems or part of the solutions?

Key attitudes and practices that encourage scientific and technical innovation include:

Evaluating contributions using objective criteria, such as accuracy and efficiency, rather than the contributor's identity or personal characteristics.

Sharing knowledge to facilitate its application and increase overall understanding.

Acting with disinterest, prioritizing the advancement of knowledge over personal gain.

Ensuring that scientific claims are open to scrutiny and can withstand challenges, rather than relying on authority.

We need to listen and understand before acting, and constantly learn and educate/and share. Innovative organizations have explored the full spectrum of innovation and deployed a range of different management, technology, process, and structural solutions. From reactive to proactive, the goal of disciplined innovation management is to stay focused and improve the innovation success rate.
