Innovation – Basic Definition
- Innovation is the implementation of new ideas that add value
Innovation Criteria
- Three conditions must be met for an idea to be considered innovative: New, Done, and Value Add
- The absence of any one condition voids the idea from being considered innovative
Condition 1: New
- For an idea to be considered new in a particular context, it must differ from existing practices
- Newness is context-dependent - a practice common in one field may be new in another
Condition 2: Done
- Implementing an idea is essential to consider it innovative
- The idea must be successfully implemented and put into use to have a perceptible impact to be innovative
Condition 3: Adds Value
- An innovative idea has a clear purpose to meet a specific need, solve a problem, or create value
What Innovation is Not
- Novelty: Just being new without adding value
- Improvement: Incremental tweaks to existing offerings without introducing new technologies or markets
Innovation ≠ Invention
- Invention is creating something, while innovation is putting it into successful use in a market
- Collaboration with entrepreneurs or licensing are essential to make inventions innovative
Innovation ≠ Creativity
- Creativity is about conceptualising ideas, while innovation involves implementation
- Innovation involves executing the idea, bringing it to fruition
Innovation ≠ Technology
- Using new technology doesn't automatically signify innovation
- Digitization is not innovation. Innovation lies in how an idea is implemented
In Summary
- Three conditions define innovation: New, Done, and Value Add.
- Innovation is about implementation, execution and creating value.

Feedback and Adaptation
- Innovation requires a continuous feedback loop to adapt to trends, customer needs, and stakeholder input.
- Learning from successes and failures through feedback is vital
