What do you think innovation is? Why innovate? In the workplace life, with the changes of the times, everything in life will change with the times. If you don't change, you will face elimination. I've sorted out what you think innovation is and why.
What do you think of innovation? Why innovate? 1 "three characteristics" of innovation
Knowledge innovation must have three characteristics: novelty, practicality and feasibility. Among these three characteristics, if there is a lack of novelty, it cannot be called creation; Although novel, it lacks practicality, and such innovation has no value and cannot be recognized by society; Even if it is novel and practical, the innovation with poor feasibility cannot be really applied to the practice of the community.
(1) novelty
The novelty mentioned here is not necessarily earth-shaking changes (of course, earth-shaking changes are major innovations, such as Einstein's theory of relativity, which is a major subversion of the original theory), but as long as it is in a small scope and field, the perspective and method that people did not have before is innovation. Even though these visions and methods are not necessarily new in themselves, borrowing them to areas that have never been used becomes innovation.
For example, the home automatic toaster was first developed by engineers from Matsushita Corporation of Japan. If we analyze the structure of the bread maker, it is actually very simple, including a pot filled with flour and water, an agitator that automatically stirs flour, an electric baking oven and a timer.
These things are common parts in any food enterprise, but combining them together gives birth to a machine that is convenient for people to use, which is a great innovation!
(2) Practicality
It is often said that there are no two identical leaves on a tree, so each leaf has its own novelty. An intellectual property expert joked that every cloud in the sky can apply for a patent for utility model, because every cloud is different. But in today's situation, what's the use of every leaf on the tree and every cloud in the sky?
What is novel but lacks practicality cannot be called innovation. What is created must meet people's current or potential needs. Many so-called "innovations" sound good, but they are basically useless. Such innovation is not worth mentioning.
"Demand is the biggest driving force for innovation", so when we innovate, we must start with demand (these needs may be explicit or implicit, current or potential), and we must not be imaginative, only considering novelty and not considering practicality.
(3) Feasibility
Now there are bread machines, dumpling machines, juicers and so on. If someone wants to innovate a multifunctional machine, it can not only stir-fry and cook, but also make jiaozi, cook porridge and make wine ... Do you think it is feasible to expand it a little or even clean the kitchen and wash dishes for you?
Under the current technical conditions, it is estimated that most engineers will be intimidated by this demand, because no one can realize it. For those who are committed to this kind of innovation, we have to say that they are far-sighted, but from another perspective, they may be wasting their energy.
What do you think is innovation and why do you want to innovate? 2 The importance of innovative thinking.
Innovation is a word that appears very frequently in today's world and our country. Entrepreneurs, government officials, our university professors and students present here are almost obsessed with innovation. Meanwhile, innovation is a very old word. In English, the word innovation comes from Latin.
Its original intention has three meanings, one is renewal. Second, create new things. Third, change. As a theory, innovation was formed in the 20th century. Schumpeter, a famous person who studied economic management, introduced innovation into the economic field for the first time in 19xx.
Innovative thinking refers to the thinking process of solving problems with novel and original methods. Through this kind of thinking, we can break through the boundaries of conventional thinking, think about problems with unconventional or even unconventional methods and perspectives, and put forward unique solutions, thus producing novel, unique and socially meaningful thinking results.
Innovation is the hope of mankind and the hope of the nation. From drilling wood for fire to the invention of steam engine, from the smoke from beacon tower to modern internet technology, a history of human civilization is a history of constantly surpassing innovation.
Innovation is the soul of a nation's progress, the driving force of a country's prosperity and development, and the source of a person's eternal vitality in his work and even in his career. Practice tells us-
In learning, whoever is good at innovative thinking will have a smart brain;
At work, whoever is good at innovative thinking will have more ways;
In business, whoever is good at innovative thinking will have a broad world;
In cultivation, whoever is good at innovative thinking will have a good image.

The Significance and Function of Innovative Thinking in Our Work and Life
Infiltration of innovative thinking
There is a saying that is familiar to almost everyone: "Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% sweat." Edison's famous saying tells us that hard work and sweat can make genius and success. Actually, it is not. Because there is a crucial sentence after the original sentence: "But 1% inspiration is the most important, even more important than 99% sweat."
What did Edison convey to us? Success is not just as simple as sweat. What is inspiration?
Inspiration is actually an effective way of thinking, a way to lead people to discover new methods, and a brand-new way of thinking. Essentially, it is a reflection (shadow) of innovative thinking.
Looking back at the long river of history, from ancient times to the present, from the four great inventions of ancient times to modern industrial manufacturing, from the development of enterprises to the rise and fall of social industries, it is inseparable from the infiltration of innovative thinking factors. Efforts can't bring about essential changes, sweat can't promote social progress and development, but innovation and creativity can!
As the wheel of time turns to 2 1 century, the appearance of computers has greatly changed the popularity of time network, the constant birth of new industries, the way of human work and interpersonal communication, and so on. The world has entered an unprecedented new era, and the cornerstone of the development of emerging industries such as creative industries and information industries is innovative thinking. The daily economic life of human beings is not so dependent on the role of innovative thinking as at any time in history.
The role of innovative thinking
Ma Yun, the godfather of e-commerce in China, has such a speech about laziness that the world is actually supported by lazy people:
"Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, is a programmer. He was too lazy to study, so he dropped out of school. He was too lazy to remember those complicated dos commands, so he made up a graphical interface program. As a result, computers all over the world are a face, and he has become the richest man in the world. "
"The most powerful catering enterprise in the world, McDonald's. His boss is too lazy to be surprised, too lazy to learn exquisite French cuisine and too lazy to master the complicated skills of Chinese food. Take two pieces of bread with a piece of beef and sell it. As a result, the M symbol can be seen all over the world. The owner of Pizza Hut didn't bother to put the pie stuffing in, so he just sprinkled it on the bread and sold it. As a result, everyone calls it pizza, which is more expensive than 10 pie. "
The above passage embodies the innovative spirit and the importance of innovative thinking brought by laziness. As the saying goes, innovation is regular, but thinking cannot. Innovation is the most important, and thinking is the most important. Only the existence of innovative thinking can lead to the birth of fruitful new products, meaningful methods and chances of success.
It is precisely because of the creative inventions and innovations of these "lazy people" that new industries are born, enterprises are developed, wealth is gathered, and social progress is promoted, and the world is wonderful today. In other words, innovative thinking is the cornerstone to guide social development and progress.
