Becoming innovative in 2025

If 2024 has demonstrated anything, it's that their is value in the skill and capability to innovate.

Innovation is an outcome that emerges from constant learning and practice by people. It happens when people are curious, ask great questions, tinker, experiment and ship their ideas out into the market place to see what kind of response they get in return. Success comes with a commitment to the process and the desire to develop and learn as an innovator.

Much like training to run a marathon; successful innovation requires dedication of time, attention and energy. It requires a passion to constantly create what doesn't already exist.

The first step to becoming innovative in 2025 is to choose to become a scholar of the practice. Accept that acting innovatively means the conscious development of a mindset that embraces strategic and systems thinking and behaviour that is creative and experimental. Becoming innovative is enabled by curiosity and exploration - stepping boldly outside of your comfort zone...just to see what's there.

The world is in desperate need of innovators and leaders who can facilitate innovation. Whose keen?
