Change and innovation

If there are two elements that are “joined at the hip,” it's change and innovation. Change is hard and requires lots of begging, nudging, politicking, persistence and boundless education. These traditional methods can take too much time to bring change soon enough, and successful transformations often use a good dose of innovation, either through the nature of the idea itself or the way it's brought into light. The latter is often the most attractive and faster way to trigger change; the challenge however is that it demands a strong charge of creativity. That material is generally not available on demand and seems to manifest itself as a result of painful and arduous research combined with some magical inspiration, which means that a positive outcome is never guaranteed. In my view however, this is just what makes the whole process so attractive!
