Innovations by Industrial Engineers - Recent LinkedIn Posts on Innovations

 

Industrial engineers have to innovate. They have to identify and implement new engineering ideas and products in their processes and operations. They have to use creativity to maximize the output from engineering ideas currently in use in the company as well as new ideas that are now adopted.

What are some of the recent posts on innovation on LinkedIn

Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple and a pioneer of the personal computer revolution, shares candid perspectives on innovation, intellectual property, leadership, and collaboration, shaped by real successes, failures, and bold ideas.

His personal stories and practical insights offer a fresh perspective on how innovation comes to life, not just as ideas, but through the way we develop, protect, and scale them.

Defining INNOVATION 

Innovation is not just a new idea.

It is a valuable idea.

Barbara Salopek makes a powerful distinction:

Not all ideas are innovation.

Not even all patents are innovation.

Innovation happens when an idea:

• Creates real value

• Solves a meaningful problem

• Works in the real world

• Generates impact (and often revenue)

Innovation is not about the idea.  It is about the value it creates.

Mette Storvestre

PhD Corporate Entrepreneurship

Yes, Incremental Innovation Matters

In my PhD research, one insight kept resurfacing: In mature organisations, incremental innovation, not only what Jens Stoltenberg once called a “moon landing,” that truly moves the needle.

McKinsey’s 2022 data is clear:

82%+ of revenue growth come from everyday improvements

12%+ from adjacent innovation (new markets, new tech)

6%+ from radical innovation

How to build a real competitive advantage?

Embracing the human side of innovation by including all innovation modes and building a culture where continuous improvements from the many are recognised and valued. That’s where a substantial growth opportunity lies, and where everyday work becomes more meaningful for more people.
