Innovation Defined by the Land Award Winners
IdeaVerse: We view one kind of innovation as the fulfillment of a connection-making process that not only creates something novel, but "pays off" in some way. The pay off may be in the creation of a new product, a beautiful work of art, an idea that advances a body of work, a collaborative effort, a valuable new way to do things.
IdeaVerse focuses on what Jim Collins calls innovation "squared" or "social innovation" -- the innovation that creates an environment for the above mentioned innovation to occur. IdeaVerse is a social invention that is creating a climate for first-level innovation to flourish.
Marshall Industries: Innovation is the constant pursuit of new ideas, methods and devices that produce non-linear breakthroughs, improvements in customer satisfaction, productivity and the intellectual capability of our organization.
SleepNet Corporation: Broadly speaking, we define innovation as the courageous act of creating something unique. It takes true courage and passion to attack conventional wisdom -- including your own ideas -- and fail your way to the achievement of something truly different.
Washoe Health System: At Washoe Health System innovation is defined as a culture or an attitude we are constantly striving to create that encourages new and different ways to blend caring, quality and service for our customers.
