Innovation in context
“Innovation is the process by which new ideas are
successfully exploited to create economic, social and
environmental value.” (Department for Business, Innovation
and Skills)
Innovation addresses an identified problem or aspiration to improveSmall-scale exploratory to strategically engineered interventionInnovative application rather than technological innovation
