"Innovation: Implementing valuable ideas that customers and users will actively support."

--Lynda Curtin

Innovation is a people process and is a key competency at most organizations. Doing more with less requires employees that understand innovation — what it is and where to hunt for it. Once they understand innovation, the next step is to ensure they are equipped with a process and tools that will enable productive idea generation, idea building and planning for implementation.
