Most high-profile stories of creative innovation tell of the Apples, Googles and Teslas of the world. Forward-thinking and a sense of discovery are regarded as rare organizational qualities—the domain of a select few. But in reality, solving problems through experimentation and trial-and-error learning is humankind’s superpower. As Harvard evolutionary anthropologist Joseph Henrich puts it, culture is the secret of our success as a species. Behind the scenes at companies that drive our economy, empowered employees innovate in unseen everyday ways.

And "Continuous improvement and learning are arguably the most powerful forms of everyday innovation. Subtle tweaks and improvements to manufacturing processes might not make headline news, but they engage employees in essential and motivating ways. Empowering employees to innovate in how they work not only fulfills a deep human need; it also contributes to more efficient and effective outcomes." #MicrosoftGarage #Innovation #Culture
