Innovation is the only key to unlock development. Its abstraction is about the improvement or amelioration of any process. When introduced into a system, it does not in any way reduce the system; corporate innovations increase the chances of a breakthrough. In a simple term, people innovate for the purpose of improving lives or systems. Despite how congenial innovation sounds, it doesn’t come by chance.

What are you good at? I mean really good at? Oddly enough, that’s not usually the focus of most employee reviews. Traditionally, these reviews focus on two things: 1) what you’ve done in the past and 2) where you need to improve. Maybe that is why traditional annual employee reviews are not effective. Managers, employees, and HR all agree : the typical formal appraisal process doesn’t work for multiple reasons: Feedback can be limited, inaccurate, or outdated.

If you’re relying on superficial approaches to diversity, you might find yourself scrambling to catch up. Thought diversity - the fuel for new ideas, fresh perspectives, and disruptive innovation - is more than a buzzword. It's a survival strategy.
