Training innovation: The key to long-term success
summary
Claims that innovation is a trainable skill backed by 84% vs 6% (importance vs satisfaction) and a repeatable process. Implements protected time, weekly or biweekly, measures ideas/prototypes moved forward, and runs self‑organized maker-space hackathons (one–two days) that produce prototypes later integrated into larger projects. Results: higher motivation, more measurable outcomes, fewer bureaucratic delays, and clear metrics for idea generation, prototyping, and business impact.
