The term ‘innovation’ has been used over time to signify intuitive or collective intelligence that leads to the creation of unique applications and/or the resolution of persistent problems.  It has often been misused to characterize a range of change actions that may not necessarily involve the fundamental tenets of innovation, which include:

• Collaborative problem-solving;
• Integrative decision-making;
• User-Centered Design; and
• Persistent experimentation.

Innovation occurs more naturally in an organization where the right conditions exist for people to interact and collaborate in a purposeful way without superficial constraints on knowledge forming and creative development.
