Innovation = Different Ways to Organize

Innovation is not the mere creation of something new, or a departure from the usual. It is a process that creates a relationship between

1. what was once unquestionably believed
2. the questions brought forward by current practice and
3. the determination to resolve those questions

What I like about this understanding: it includes people in the innovation equation; their beliefs, their questions and their interest and motivation to resolve the tensions.
