innovation
Meaning
Innovation refers to the process of creating new ideas, products, or methods that improve existing systems or solve problems in a novel way.
💡 A common mistake is to confuse "innovation" with "invention"; innovation involves improving or applying existing ideas, while invention refers to creating something entirely new.
