Overview
Change is constant.  It can be argued that if we aren’t changing we are regressing or in a state of decay.  In business, we can choose to be reactive or proactive towards change.  We can strive to shape our space or be shaped by it.  How we approach innovation sends a strong message to employees within the organization.  If we think of innovation as adding value we can look at innovation from a number of perspectives.
