Reading Reflection
What stood out to me the most as a surprise was the fact that there are four different types of innovation. When we think of innovation we think of it in a general sense rather than a category that subdivides into four different sections. Reading that was interesting and now I am thinking about innovation in different ways.
One part of the reading that I wish the author explained in a more clear manner was the section about the fact that "innovation is planned and predictable" is a misconception. How is it a misconception when the author previously stated that innovators are practical people and the process involves research which emulates planning?
Another question I would like to ask is that is it truly "necessary" for creativity to occur only when chaos is present? A quote in the book talked about how "for creativity to occur, chaos is necessary". Although this is quite a beautiful concept, and true for some success in this world, I don't believe that it is really an important asset for creativity and innovation, let alone a requirement.
