			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I truly believe that no company is eternal. The world is changing. That&#8217;s because of market changes so there is no reason why the company should remain unchanged. Change or die.</p>
<p>As <a href="http://www.skallagrimur.org/" target="_blank">business</a> leaders should realize that failures are normal and natural part of innovation. Successful companies in launching new products with a failure rate of 35%. The leader must be wise enough to accept, understand and be courageous to take risks to achieve new success.</p>
<p>They  need to identify existing problems with current products and develop a  new approach to solve the problem before it decided to undertake a new  type of product. Accepts customer complaints and protests. entry process to implement a creative new release.</p>
<p>Leaders should spend the money to fund research and development without hesitation. They need to be proactive and implement a positive attitude towards failures in early development.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.skallagrimur.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/buisness-innovation.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-439" title="buisness innovation" src="http://www.skallagrimur.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/buisness-innovation-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>If you run or manage a <a href="http://www.skallagrimur.org/" target="_blank">business</a> and want to be around a long time, you need to spend much of their time to innovate. This  is because in a rapidly changing world where people expect things  better and cheaper and cheaper, innovation is the way ahead of your  competitors.</p>
<p>Here are 7 ways to put new life blood of your organization through innovation.</p>
<p>1. Create a climate of innovation. Goran Ekvall, University of Lund in Sweden has set three conditions for a climate of innovation. They are: confidence, enthusiasm and humor. One case study Ekvall was a Swedish newspaper of the team working on the women&#8217;s section is always surpassed all other teams. The reason? In short, this group trust each other, had a high energy level and share a good sense of humor.</p>
<p>2. Developing creativity for laundry. According  to the institute Roffey Park Management, most flashes of inspiration  come to people when they are unemployed and do not force your conscious  brain to find solutions to their problems. For some, the ideas come while mowing the lawn or taking the dog for a walk or play golf or waiting at the station. Isaac Newton was an apple on his head as he sat in the garden. Archimedes, who was in the bathroom. For others, washing dishes, so Roffey Park calls these flashes of vision. &#8220;Wash Creativity&#8221;</p>
<p>3. Make new connections. Make new links between existing features of your product or service is a popular way to <a href="http://www.skallagrimur.org/category/innovation/" target="_blank">innovate</a>. Akio  Morita, Sony&#8217;s president, said he invented the Walkman because I wanted  to listen to music while walking between golf shots. His team, just join two apparently incompatible products: a recorder and a radio transistor.</p>
<p>4. Find out what people need. The need is great motivation for innovation. Take, for example, writing paper. The Chinese had already taken the role of rags around the year 100 BC, but because there was no place for her, he did not. When  he arrived in Europe during the Middle Ages, when the writing was in  vogue, the supply of rags and cloth worn soon exhausted. That&#8217;s when a French naturalist, made the discovery that the wasps nest in the wood to chew on a puree of dried thin film. In 100 years, all paper was made with the idea of wood pulp.</p>
<p>5. Test, test, test. Product testing is most inventors and organizations ranging from innovation. It can not be the quickest route to success, but it is often safer. Jonas  Salk, for example, found the vaccine against polio to spend most of  their time testing and testing and constantly discover what was wrong. Thomas Edison invented the incandescent lamp, recorded 1300 experiments were a complete failure. But he was able to move forward because, he said, he knew 1,300 ways that would not work.</p>
<p>6. To adopt and adapt. A relatively easy approach to innovation is to realize how others cope with problems and adapt their solutions to their own. He  is known as &#8220;adapt and adopt.&#8221; Watchmaker Swatch what when they  realized that the most reliable watches in the city is less need to  replace them. His solution? Borrowing an idea from the world of  collections mode and turning their clocks  desirable fashion accessory. Now people buy Swatch watches not only  tell time, but because it is &#8220;cool&#8221; to do so.</p>
<p>7. Take lessons from nature. If you really want to be creative, you can not beat nature. The natural world offers us a lot of prototypes for use in our own world. Take Velcro, for example. Velcro  was patented by George de Mestral in 1950 after returning from a  hunting trip covered with small bumps that had been attached to clothing  in layers of tiny hooks. De Mestral quickly realized that this was an ideal technique to hold the material together. A new way of doing things are invented suddenly.</p>
<p>World history is the history of innovation. Thomas  Kuhn has called each acceptance of an innovation of a new &#8220;paradigm  shift.&#8221; For once, a new innovation is accepted, the world has changed  forever and will never be as before.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-135 alignright" title="Business Innovation" src="http://www.skallagrimur.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Business-Innovation1-300x198.jpg" alt="Business Innovation" width="300" height="198" />Problems, problems, problems &#8211; If life is not great if we never had any problems. All work to perfection, always get along and be happy, everything would be wonderful for everyone, everywhere, and things only get better we are pleased they are still alive today. Unfortunately, in the real world does not avoid the sad reality of the dark side. Viewed from a business perspective &#8211; Take the number of questions for each person, multiplied by the number of employees, it is the result of any aspect of business life, and the bottom line is what holds all owners of company are chewing their nails to the bone. The generally accepted method for solving problems is simply to eliminate the cause. But this method is not always so simple. Determine the actual cause of the problem may be a very complicated question, and even if you do this right &#8211; the removal of the cause is just a simple way, a new set of problems. It would be nice if the company can policies and procedures are established to solve problems themselves and society would benefit in the process? How problems can be solved for themselves. It&#8217;s all about turning weaknesses into strengths, seeking to find innovative ways to approach problems from a new angle. A simple change in perception is all that is required to display a new range of possibilities, as seen from a new frame of reference.<span id="more-133"></span></p>
<p>The value of innovation in enterprises</p>
<p>Innovation is a descriptor word of mouth for the economy for some time. In fact, the concept of innovation in recent years become a boom, a whole industry in itself. What is <a href="http://www.skallagrimur.org/category/innovation/" target="_blank">business innovation</a>? The point of view that characterize the traditional <strong>business innovation</strong> to create new marketable inventions. Business innovation is also often involved in research and development activities related to the development of new products and services and innovative ways to market. Given that the market is increasingly saturated, innovation play a crucial role to differentiate their products from competitors and to utilize all available resources to achieve a decisive competitive advantage. The modern view recognizes the strategic importance of implementation of innovation in enterprises in every phase of the infrastructure company that the range of activities of the company covers.</p>
<p>Create a culture of innovation in the workplace Business</p>
<p><a href="http://www.skallagrimur.org" target="_blank">Business innovation</a> can flourish in a pyramid structure that begins at the top and spreads throughout an organization with the intensity falling to nearly zero at the base. An effective strategy would transform the river, so that entrepreneurial innovation begins at the base and continuing the momentum gaining speed on its way to the top. Create a culture of innovation in the workplace begins by developing an appropriate management approach. Innovation has to do with recognizing the value of the attribute of flexibility, and we welcome the challenge of adapting to circumstances in a constant state of change.</p>
<p>Withdrawal from the status quo</p>
<p>This irresponsible type of thinking can be difficult for those with emotional comfort and security just to maintain the status quo used. Innovation is usually applied in small steps &#8220;not&#8221; sure baby, and just to simplify procedures, rather than risk the potential consequences of introducing a major change. Major changes usually emerge only from necessity, as previous methods have proved ineffective and outdated.</p>
<p>The hallmark of creative genius</p>
<p>Receive adequate training, everyone has the potential to develop sophisticated nature of mental flexibility is the hallmark of creative genius. Unfortunately, this type of training is not included in the regular program of formal education. Education maintains a very rigid way of thinking. Due to the natural flexibility, all children are born with negligence impaired. Adults with creative genius, mental flexibility, driven by their own initiative, provided, although the destructive aspects of education. Companies would do well to seek those rare individuals in key leadership positions, not only recognize their creative contribution, but mainly for their ability to nurture innovative ideas that other manufactures. These are the people best equipped to lead efforts to develop effective strategies for implementing successful development of new ideas. Although our creativity has been suppressed, not totally lost. A corporate culture that supports innovation continues to flourish in its belief that everyone has his Eureka moments of inspiration from time to time.</p>
<p>Eliminating barriers to innovation</p>
<p>To see the frontline workers in a company&#8217;s own prospects, and rightly so, because they are closely related to each hour of every day. There are many management issues are not, and how certain changes could benefit the company. Many are reluctant to submit to foment fear of negative consequences. The frontline staff are sensitive to the dangers that arise to invoke the wrath of those who have power over their position in society, not his whole career. People in positions of leadership often harbor the idea that those who are not &#8220;thinking&#8221; and that frontline staff are paid for their work &#8211; not thinking, ideas, or God forbid &#8211; to challenge the validity of the policies and procedures. Managers are often under threat of such entry as a challenge to the jurisdiction and authority, his position would be. Corporate cultures, with a rigid hierarchy to create a work environment where each develops its own self serving agenda, which is often at odds with the best interests of the company. A rigid hierarchy tends to let the opportunities missed important innovation on the way to choke.</p>
<p>A crucial factor in maintaining a culture of innovation in the enterprise is to eliminate factors of anxiety more common endemic culture of authoritarian, intimidating employees really contribute with their ideas. In fact, they bring new ideas and encouraged the staff for ideas should be taken in place and will benefit the company rewarded. A company can consciously recognize the enormous benefits to everyone in the organization the freedom to devote a small percentage of working only on the generation of innovations. They must also provide tools and quality training to maximize your potential for success.</p>
<p>It starts at the top<br />
Of course, revolutionary innovations, companies are taking up quite useless without the will to institute change management. It is the vision and strength of high-level management, the basic philosophy of a given society. There comes a time when that philosophy will be made by a company must grow to reflect market developments. The successful implementation of a culture of innovation is not entirely to the cultivation of attitudes of everyone in the organization, there are exceptions. It is rigid, preconceived ideas about how we think things should be hindering innovation to work its magic.</p>
<p>The seed and get a record harvest<br />
One of the few immutable facts of life is valuable, everything has changed. We are increasingly realizing that every adversity has the seed of new opportunities. The current economic crisis is just another example of change that challenges our ability to innovate, adapt and exploit new opportunities offered by change. As mentioned above &#8211; is to transform weaknesses into strengths and all that is required is a change in the perception of a new term. To determine how our perception we must change to be prepared to continually review and reassess the truth about our different perceptions. Innovation is the way to go beyond existing ideas, explore new areas ripe with opportunity. A corporate culture of innovation is the means used to the fullest extent of the most valuable resources a company &#8211; its people. Nothing is more powerful than an open heart and spirit of open cooperation in the unity of synergies for a common goal.</p>
<p>Any company that seeds of <a href="http://www.skallagrimur.org/tag/business-innovation/" target="_blank">innovation</a> throughout the organization sows, which contains all the nutrients for new growth and remove barriers to growth, prosperity and security will receive a rich harvest.</p>
