EPISODE ONE – Ask the Consultant – What is innovation?

March 19, 2021 / Braden Kelley /

EPISODE ONE comes to you live from the innovation studio as the first installment in a new series of short form videos. EPISODE ONE tackles the question people ask me more than any other:

“What is innovation?”

If you’d like to see additional potential definitions of innovation you can find 60+ additional innovation definitions here.

My definition of innovation, refined over the years, is the following:

“Innovation transforms the useful seeds of invention into widely adopted solutions valued above every existing solution.” – Braden Kelley

The video above covers why I have defined innovation in this way, and why it is so important for every organization to have a clear definition of innovation that they disseminate WIDELY across the organization.

What question should I tackle in the next video episode of “Ask the Consultant” live from my innovation studio?

Credit Card Shenanigans

By Braden Kelley | June 16, 2006
