Innovation is the creation, development and implementation of a new product, process, or service, with the aim of improving efficiency, effectiveness, or competitive advantage. Innovation is not something that happens by chance. It takes effort to “think outside the box” and address the changes that are taking place in Corporate Real Estate.
“Creativity is the ability to have an idea and innovation is the ability to get it done.” - Duncan Wardle
