Little Innovations Matter

This article considers the value of small innovations versus game-changing innovations. While big innovations like Apple and Google are glamorous and become part of business folklore, small innovations are often experiments in products, supply chains or production processes that can be the beginning of new business models. These little innovations are especially valuable for small businesses, who make up the majority of organizations in any region. Learning from these firms and sharing their experiences encourages innovation across the board. The Brisbane Innovation Scorecard launch celebrated innovation across multiple industries, including construction, hospitality, not for profit and mining. Looking at these successes enables other managers to think about changes that could be made to their own businesses.
