INNOVATE Overview
If you think you have a truly new idea, you haven’t read enough books, talked to enough people, or paid close attention … While serving as the Division Lead for Futures and Innovation at Navy Medicine Headquarters I learned much about innovation.
Innovation is simply making connections; having the right idea for the right people at the right time. Innovation is part of a culture engendered from the actions of individuals, teams, and leaders across an enterprise. I believe innovation is not the creation of new ideas; rather it is making the connection between an idea and a problem to create new solutions.
