Spark Edition #33 – Your Shot to Inspire Innovation

Hello! We start the edition with a quote from G.K. Chesterton. Evolution is a slow process. You should put in the effort and let it take its course. There will be a crisis and revolutionary changes must take place to accommodate further evolution. The featured article is about how revolutionary change and evolutionary change is part of corporate growth. Let the elephant twins Appy and Proppy discuss why corporations must embrace change rather than resist it. Articles from the web include evolutionary and revolutionary innovation and how these two innovations focus on today’s and tomorrow’s customers, respectively. The next article is why competition and misfortune speed up innovation. The third article is about how the approaching 4th industrial revolution will change innovation. The final article is about nine innovations that are already here that suggest that there is innovation going on in the healthcare industry. The infographic shows the process of growth, and its evolutionary and revolutionary processes during its different stages. In the final section, we may see this scene in product companies. Our actors Anny and Ory experience the paradox. I hope you enjoy this edition of Spark. Happy World Creativity and Innovation Day.
