Definition – What is Innovation?

June 2, 2009 / Braden Kelley /

Innovation has been defined many ways by many different people.

In January 2009, innovation was defined forty different ways in under 140 characters for a Twitter contest.

These of course aren’t the only possible definitions for innovation, but here is a video of my innovation definition (along with an example):

“Innovation transforms useful seeds of invention into solutions valued above every existing alternative.” – Braden Kelley
