Were All Innovators Now

Today, many workers are beginning to ask themselves and their employers if now is the time for them to get in the innovation mode of thinking. Many feel they don’t posses this quality. That is not true. Everyone from birth is capable of being an innovator, it’s wether you choose to use it or not that is up to you.
While yes…we all have it in us to be an innovator, I’m not going to really suggest that everyone switch careers and starting building better rockets. However, we already are in some way innovators recently discussed on Harvard Business.
Throughout your day you most likely this year are helping your boss and other co-workers come up with new ideas for production, design, increasing sales, etc. Those can all be considered innovation.
We can provoke ourselves to be more innovative (and less normal ) through scenarios, objects, observations and discussion with others. We can escape our own norms just by learning to better use our imagination. Curiosity may have killed the cat, but it’s the key to innovation.
What are your thoughts on innovation in today’s economy?
