  How Innovation isdefined Innovation is a discontinuity in knowledge and know-how that could generates a significant productivity increase either doing more things with the same resources (development), or doing the same things with fewer resources (sustainability). It becomes systemic when the productivity increase generates sustainable expansion in the broadest sense: extended (for all) and persistent (over time). According to the OCSE (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development), "Innovation is the ability to manage knowledge in order to generate competitive advantage through the production of new goods, processes and organizational systems." 090420 CMiani Copyright© 2009 CM Consulenze Manageriali 3
