What is the difference between being responsive and being innovative?

<p>The simple answer is responsive is giving the market something it is asking for (reactive). Innovative is creating something it doesn't know it wants and then can't live without (proactive).</p> <p>In this conversation we discovered a third option, creating something that doesn't exist (innovative) that the market is demanding it needs (responsive).</p> <p>It was a lively conversation with Charlie Janes, Michael Davis and Pascal Derrien. We even got into how companies encourage or squelch innovation. The conversation created the question, How can a leader get the most from introverts? That will be posted tomorrow.</p> <p>To connect with the panelists, please visit their LinkedIn profiles: Pascal Derrien: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pascalderrien/  Michael Davis: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaeldavisspeakingcpr/  Charlie Janes: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charliejanes/  Dr Robyn Odegaard: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robynodegaard/</p> <p>#QuickHits are designed to exercise your brain by letting you listen in on an unscripted conversation to get other people's thoughts on various subjects.
