What makes something innovative?

We all tend to think of innovation as something drastically different - it's new and never seen before.

This is a MYTH, a cruel lie that has tricked many creative people.

Innovation comes in many forms and can often be the result of tiny tweaks, developments and iterations.

In these nudenotes I'm sharing 10 types of innovation, and prompts to help you be more innovative in your own projects.

In the fog of the creative process and development, it's easy to get distracted by the drive for innovation, just because something is new doesn't make it good!

Innovation MUST always be in service of the customer’s best interests, help them and solve their pain points and problems.

So, next time you're looking for innovation - put yourself in the customer’s shoes, ask yourself:
"What would make their lives better?"
