Innovation - a challenge in any business. Discuss your thoughts?

It should mean that sure, in most areas I have worked it usually just means iterating on something that's existing, or just calling something innovating, even when really nothing new is being done, new products are not always innovations, they may just be iterations, and calling something innovative doesn't make it so. it's like the question as posed "innovation - piece meal or big bang" that question doesn't really mean anything unless you get specific.

Innovative to me is something like self driving cars, they are no longer the same as the cars we drove in the past, now they drive themselves, thats innovative, whereas many companies will do something like
""ohh look out our innovative new starting system - it's on the left of the steering wheel not the right, the LEFT!!! -innovation""
paying lip service to what innovation really means. (I spent a long time working in a company that wholly misused the term innovative, which is why I probably sound bitter :) )

Neither.

Innovation has no meaning unless you know how to communicate it to your stakeholders.

Innnovation well communicate, well understand, well utilised else it has no real posotove impact

Innovation can be very positive but at the same time can be detrimental to project. It all depends how it is handled and communicated.

Innovation has become a new buzzword outside there.Some of the organizations think that innovation is somethig people can adquire by taking a pill and some of the consulting firms are selling that. But when you analyze the organizations you will find that they do not create the right environment to do that. As any other thing you tried to introduce inside the organization it must be considered from the point of view of analyzing the whole organization (its architecture) to determine if creating an innovation environment will help the organization to survive. And just that is the case then you have to work on people motivation to demostrate that to each stakeholder and enganing them.

this question has no meaning but Sergio's answer is the only correct one, It' s generally a meaningless buzzword that companies use to make it sound like they are doing something new. Innovation is doing something new, as in completely new, how many larger enterprises ever really do anything completely new unless they are a startup

Hello Chanu: I like the approach of trying a pilot first for any new innovation in the healthcare industry. After the pilot, I like to offer rolling go-lives if possible. This minimizes frustration, makes it easier to determine what may be causing issues, provides more control for supporting the innovation and typically results in better overall success. So I guess I prefer the piece-meal approach if possible.
