What is the Definition of Innovation? Merriam Webster says… innovation noun in·no·va·tion \ˌi-nə-ˈvā-shən\ Definition of INNOVATION 1: the introduction of something new 2: a new idea, method, or device : NOVELTY
“Best Definition of Innovation” per Scott Berkun “Innovation is significant positive change. It’s a result. It’s an outcome. It’s something you work towards achieving on a project. If you are successful at solving important problems, peers you respect will call your work innovative and you an innovator.” “What does significant mean? I’d start with the invention of the light bulb, constitutional governments, wireless radio and the Internet. Perhaps you could say significant is a 30% or more improvement in something, like the speed of an engine or the power of a battery.” http://scottberkun.com/2013/the-best-definition-of-innovation/
