Innovation, the Cliché of Progress

[AnandLeo]

Innovation is a hackneyed adage reverberated on every facet of careers, professions, and management, yet rules and regulations of standards and safety, deter embodiment of innovation in the hands of artisans. Innovation is a moving force of the progress of creativity, efficiency, and sustainability. Innovation evolves in a parallel sphere of research, development, enterprise and regulation, and eternally merges into manufacture, construction and other myriad of prowess activities. Engineers need to be creative, and astutely adopt innovation from the industry and market.

Judging from past posts/threads I think pompous and impenetrable verbosity is his first language, with English coming a poor second.

No and he's in his mid 70s.

No and he's in his mid 70s.

OK well English not being their first language goes some way to explain the style. I'm not sure what age has got to do with it though.

Most engineers are creative and innovative - they need to be in order to solve the problems they encounter.

Innovation differs from invention. Invention is coming up with something new that solves some problem or other, innovation is bringing a new solution to mass production and to the people.

That's exactly what rules and regulations should be doing. Deterring "innovation" by means of cutting corners. In the phase space encompassing all possible technical designs, most of them are sub-optimal solutions. I for one am happy that rules and regulations prevent manufacturers of kitchen wares from using lead-strontium alloys in their products.

You can be innovative without inventing.

You can be innovative without inventing.

Yes, you can. I believe Britain was once accused of being good at invention but bad at innovation.
