Last week I sat in a meeting where a senior executive of the organisation made the comment: "Innovation is an overloaded and clichéd term". This literally sent shivers down my spine, so I want to take a break from my planned list of topics for this week and dissect this statement and also provide an "unofficial" answer to this statement.
I wisely decided not to go into a discussion over the person's statement at the time when it was uttered, and so I made a mental note and decided to review and think about the statement first and then re-visit the executive to discuss. The executive under discussion did not struck me as the "anti-innovation" type, which is usually easily identifiable, so I decided to go from the angle of first understanding why he would make such a statement.
