Innovation is a hot buzzword these days.  Many people talk about innovation, most avoid actually engaging in it.  Here are 5 reasons why:

1. People are afraid they will lose their job if they fail as an innovator.
2. People are afraid they may cause damage to their organization if they fail as an innovator.
3. People fall into the “innovation in a box” trap and purchase a prefab technology solution and mistakenly call it innovation.
4. People are preoccupied with tactical gimmicks that temporarily improve sales and lift revenue, creating the illusion that things are improving.
5. The business problems people are facing appear too complex to solve.
