Innovation doesn’t happen ‘out of the blue’. It is an evolving process that requires learning, challenging existing knowledge, and understanding something new. Ultimately, innovation leads to change and to creating new wisdom.

More often than not, innovation occurs by connecting previously unconnected bodies of knowledge. At the same time, it is important not to rely too heavily on current knowledge which can blind us to concepts and possibilities we don’t yet understand. These two things are not really contradictions. In order to create the new, we might have to let go of our existing knowledge and beliefs.
