In 2009, Northwestern University's Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art presented a film series based on the idea of Biomimicry.

It may refer to incremental, radical, and revolutionary changes in thinking, products, processes, or organizations. A distinction is typically made between invention, an idea made manifest, and innovation, ideas applied successfully. (Mckeown 2008) In many fields, something new must be substantially different to be innovative, not an insignificant change, e.g., in the arts, economics, business and government policy. In economics the change must increase value, customer value, or producer value. The goal of innovation is positive change, to make someone or something better. Innovation leading to increased productivity is the fundamental source of increasing wealth in an economy.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eInnovation is an important topic in the study of economics, business, design, technology, sociology, and engineering. Colloquially, the word \"innovation\" is often synonymous with the output of the process. However, economists tend to focus on the process itself, from the origination of an idea to its transformation into something useful, to its implementation; and on the system within which the process of innovation unfolds. Since innovation is also considered a major driver of the economy, especially when it leads to increasing productivity, the factors that lead to innovation are also considered to be critical to policy makers.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThose who are directly responsible for application of the innovation are often called pioneers in their field, whether they are individuals or organisations.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cb\u003eInnovation in organizations\u003c/b\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eA convenient definition of innovation from an organizational perspective is given by Luecke and Katz (2003), who wrote:\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\"Innovation . . . is generally understood as the successful introduction of a new thing or method . . . Innovation is the embodiment, combination, or synthesis of knowledge in original, relevant, valued new products, processes, or services.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eInnovation typically involves creativity, but is not identical to it: innovation involves acting on the creative ideas to make some specific and tangible difference in the domain in which the innovation occurs. For example, Amabile et al. (1996) propose:\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\"All innovation begins with creative ideas . . . We define innovation as the successful implementation of creative ideas within an organization. In this view, creativity by individuals and teams is a starting point for innovation; the first is necessary but not sufficient condition for the second\".\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eFor innovation to occur, something more than the generation of a creative idea or insight is required: the insight must be put into action to make a genuine difference, resulting for example in new or altered business processes within the organization, or changes in the products and services provided.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eA further characterization of innovation is as an organizational or management process. For example, Davila et al. (2006), write:\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\"Innovation, like many business functions, is a management process that requires specific tools, rules, and discipline.\"\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eFrom this point of view the emphasis is moved from the introduction of specific novel and useful ideas to the general organizational processes and procedures for generating, considering, and acting on such insights leading to significant organizational improvements in terms of improved or new business products, services, or internal processes.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThrough these varieties of viewpoints, creativity is typically seen as the basis for innovation, and innovation as the successful implementation of creative ideas within an organization (c.f. Amabile et al. 1996 p.1155). From this point of view, creativity may be displayed by individuals, but innovation occurs in the organizational context only.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eIt should be noted, however, that the term 'innovation' is used by many authors rather interchangeably with the term 'creativity' when discussing individual and organizational creative activity. As Davila et al. (2006) comment,\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\"Often, in common parlance, the words creativity and innovation are used interchangeably. They shouldn't be, because while creativity implies coming up with ideas, it's the \"bringing ideas to life\" . . . that makes innovation the distinct undertaking it is.\"\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe distinctions between creativity and innovation discussed above are by no means fixed or universal in the innovation literature. They are however observed by a considerable number of scholars in innovation studies.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e[edit] Innovation as a behavior\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eSome in depth work on innovation in organisations, teams and individuals has been carried out by J.
