Innovation flows through each department, team, its corridor and perhaps everything related to the office. Innovation is not an individual stuff but a team initiative that involves a large group of disciplines that come with their ideas and thoughts.

Spaces and processes can support the innovation drive in your organization. But ultimately it is the culture of the office that defines how successful and far the efforts can go. The support and willingness from the staff are required to make it to a most innovative office. It is the team game, after all. Innovation comes with ideas, they may come in bulk or meager. Getting ideas is a part of innovation but how to make it a reality is a challenging task to do. To take the innovation from the idea to its execution, a diverse yet skillful team is needed.
