Innovation happens because there are people out there doing and trying a lot of different things.

As much as we sometimes roll our eyes at the ivory-tower isolation of universities, they continue to serve as remarkable engines of innovation.

An innovation is one of those things that society looks at and says, if we make this part of the way we live and work, it will change the way we live and work.

But innovation comes from people meeting up in the hallways or calling each other at 10:30 at night with a new idea, or because they realized something that shoots holes in how we've been thinking about a problem.

Ultimately, innovation depends on the people with advanced skills who have the ideas, and on the business risk-takers willing to back them.

Innovation is this amazing intersection between someone's imagination and the reality in which they live. The problem is, many companies don't have great imagination, but their view of reality tells them that it's impossible to do what they imagine.

Innovation comes to you from creators who do have a vision and a passion, and that is how we succeeded.

If you look at history, innovation doesn't come just from giving people incentives; it comes from creating environments where their ideas can connect.

Innovation is all about people. Innovation thrives when the population is diverse, accepting and willing to cooperate.

My definition of 'innovative' is providing value to the customer.
