Introduction To Innovation – A Short Course

You already innovate.
You just don’t know it yet.

Every time you’ve spotted a problem and figured out a better way to deal with it — at work, at college, at home — that’s innovation.

Every time you’ve spotted a problem and figured out a better way to deal with it — at work, at college, at home — that’s innovation. Not the big tech, genius inventor kind. The everyday, practical, makes-things-better kind. The kind that gets noticed. The kind that makes you more valuable to every employer you’ll ever work for.

The truth is, the skills that sit behind innovation — curiosity, creative thinking, the ability to develop an idea and communicate it clearly — are exactly what employers across every industry say they struggle to find in people starting out in their careers. And most of the time, those people already have them. They just haven’t been shown how to use them yet.

That’s what this series is for.
