Possibilities and Innovation: Business’ Improvements

Our business is extremely important, but so is our will to improve. I have studied a lot of business cases that consistently connects innovation to possibility. All business cases suggested that business has to keep improving, until 99 percent of mistakes are eliminated. The main point and end-result of innovation is producing or solving something.

The foundation to problem solution has always been quenching a quest for something. When you innovate, you are on the quest for improving something. It can be about almost anything innovative. Leonardo Da Vinci has a comprehensive perspective on it. He clarified that there has to be a quest for continuous learning. This is what you becomes, when you are running a business.

You’d have a quest for learning, until you reach a point where you are an expert in your field. Even then, you are still learning, because you’d like to expand the business. Do not forget the people you add when expanding, and dealing with people is a very complex topic. When you expand, new challenges emerge, and you’d be learning new things.

The main reason we study business cases is to learn from people’s mistakes. Further, we wants to learn from their success. We should try and avoid too-much-knowledge. As you’d know, when we have too much knowledge about a particular subject, they will most likely collide with one another, leaving you action paralyzed.

As Da Vinci said, if we do not learn from our mistakes, we cannot improve the business or product. Learning from mistakes are part of being innovative, and improving the business. A glance at a potential opportunity could be what takes your business to a new level. Pursuing opportunities are part of what makes innovation so great. The only thing greater is scanning for it, because if you can’t see it, you cannot pursue it.

It is an ability that defines the capabilities of the business. One thing that scares people off is ambiguity, because business is about embracing it. It does not matter how many case studies we made, because we do not know if what works for other businesses could work for your business. It is what makes ambiguity so powerful, and best strategy against it is being dynamic. We’d have to find a balance between our left and right brain.

We needs to know how to balance the two, and then cultivate a style that was purposely meant for expressing different ideas, and recognize the systems relationships. In conclusion, our business needs something productive, something that seven principles can achieve, according to Da Vinci. These seven are striving after consistent learning, having the wiliness to learn from pass mistakes and having the ability to scan for opportunities.

Further, we needs to have the will to embrace ambiguous part of business, know how to balance right and left brain perspectives, cultivate a style that can simplifies how to express the ideas, and recognize the ‘systems’ relationships for further exploration.
