Good morning all, starting the week and the day with a 5 minutes freewriting with prompt - Innovation.
Innovation - A word I believe most of us are so accustomed to hearing nowadays. My simple understanding is to create something new. Innovation has even been make one core value in my company where each employee is supposed to embrace.
It is defined in the dictionary as follow and I quote from google - "a new method, idea, product, etc."
But the irony is we are always asked to have innovation on old ground. we are always require to innovate using current system, method and resource, most importantly to save cost, don't ever think of spending a dime. I sometimes think my bosses are the greatest innovator - "to be able to create innovation by mouth"
We are suppose to create new things with old things but bosses who "supported innovation" most often than not, are the resistance to employee's innovation, when we tried doing something new, we would have to present to the "Firing squad" none other than the bosses themselves.
Nowadays, with the rise of the various AI models, like Chatgpt, Copilot etc, bosses have change their innovation tactics, the question have change to "How can AI help in making this / that simpler" But access to such model in the office is banned citing "Information Security"
Innovation is especially crucial in today's world where order of the world have change, thus the requirement of us doing things differently have become stronger than ever. But how do we expect new results if we are required to constantly stick to the old way that we already know the result?
Something to ponder deep upon.
