"Creativity is thinking up new things. Innovation is doing new things.”

1. Innovation matters

Innovation seems to be a big word, but it’s actually quite simple. As Theodore Levitt once said,?"Creativity is thinking up new things. Innovation is doing new things.”

#Innovation ?matters to you – ‘you’ as an individual and ‘you’ as a company. It doesn’t have to be big or expensive, it can be a good idea that you come up with yourself or with your peers- people with the same concerns thinking together and coming up with a solution to solve a problem.?

#Innovation ?is part improvisation: breaking old habits and trying something new. In a way it is thinking out loud and choosing untried paths and being open in the way you think and listen to others.?

I always tell my diverse team that?#Innovation ?is also about expressing ideas together, no matter how right or wrong they might feel. Everything is worth consideration, and their ideas give us a fresh perspective. We put it in, mix and shake it together and create something nice.?

Innovation for people, innovation for society and innovation for environment?are three key aspects. It doesn’t just concern specific companies, it concerns everyone. Everybody has a role play. Our responsibility as an individual, as a company, is to work together, and make the world run better. Creating an organisation where innovation is part of its DNA is essential for every business that wants to build a sustainable future.?

2. SAP Innovation Forum – where innovation inspires?

There is no single recipe for an organization’s innovation strategy, so we are creating a?forum?where 300+ industry and business leaders, innovators, and artists from across Europe can gather, in person, at one stunning venue to network, exchange ideas and explore innovations.

Can you imagine that? And this is not an event for?SAP?or SAP Customers,?this is an event for all innovators and disruptors?who want to share their journey with the world, who want to come and see, explore and contribute to the creation of a better world.
