Anytime a word becomes a buzz word, it's original meaning starts to expand, blur, and grey. I've seen innovation used to describe projects that complete something. It's as if the completion of the project implies that someone innovated to get it done. Innovation to me is about breaking from a previous way of thinking and delivering results in an unexpected way. Everybody wants it, but few achieve it. Bob Ric,

Great points. Anytime a word becomes a buzz word, it’s original meaning starts to expand, blur, and grey. I’ve seen innovation used to describe projects that complete something. It’s as if the completion of the project implies that someone innovated to get it done.

Innovation to me is about breaking from a previous way of thinking and delivering results in an unexpected way. Everybody wants it, but few achieve it.
