The Long Road to Innovation

Innovation, the thing about it is everyone likes to talk about it, not many people actually put much thought into it. The catch is when someone strikes gold, everyone's on the bandwagon. In a recent post at Innovating to Win, they wrote a piece called 'The Lonely Voice of Innovation.'

A true innovator sees innovation around every corner, as well as how many simple day to day things can be improved to more efficiently work.

The four basic parts that the majority of businesses choose to focus on are:

- Pervasive commoditization
- Antiquation of intellectual assets
- The generational transformation of the workforce make the need for reliable

With these problems facing everyone, it's not a surprise that 70% of CEOs have innovation as a priority in the future.

So what can you, as the innovator of your company, do? It's simple, just keep at it. Try to explain to your employees on their terms what your goal is for your innovation. Once an idea takes off, everyone will be interested.
