What is Innovation Competence?

The ability to create, introduce, adapt, and/or apply a beneficial novelty in any part of an organization. That is to say, being able to introduce something new (an idea, a method or process to do something, or a device, or an invention) or the useful improvement of something that already exists and adds value to people/organizations and society/planet. In the search for adding value, the innovation process starts with the proposal and generation of new ideas and ends with using the results.
