Excerpt: "Creativity and innovation are the primary drivers of business in the “information age,” yet there is currently very little training and education in the area available in Ireland. For the purpose of this article, I have defined creativity as “the process of developing something new and of value” in the provision of products and services (including training and education). Innovation I will define as the implementation of the creative effort, therefore the path from creativity to innovation is akin to the progression from concept to reality. Creativity is primarily an individual characteristic whereas innovation is typically perceived as an organisational outcome. Although innovation is often referred to as encompassing the entire process, it is useful to make the above distinction, not only because they are better treated as separate processes, but also because R&D outsourcing and the purchasing of IP (Intellectual Property) means that a company or individual may innovate but have had no input into the creative effort. Conversely, a creative idea may be licensed such that the conceiver has no active part in realising the idea and developing its potential."
