An ‘innovacation’ could be just what you need to run a better business

A what!  Yes, I'm not a fan of the terminology, but definitely of the concept to take the time, to create the space, to be creative and innovative. I'm blessed that over the last 6 or 7 years, Covid aside, I have had regular international business trips. Whilst the trips the meetings and events were based around were very useful in and of themselves, I started to find the gaps in the journey, even the dead time at airports, were very useful, to be disconnected from the day to day, and to give time for reading, thinking and …. innovating.  Oftentimes I'd try to find flights that gave me a few hours mooching time (time to walk the city/location, sit for a coffee and think). That said, I've not yet had a full ‘innovacation’.  But, we do as a company at Hyperion have quarterly offsites. I've mentioned them many times, and make no apology for the repetition. The value of this time is, well, invaluable!  It's great for ideas, collaboration, social interaction, and some much needed relaxation and fun.

How do you  find time for creativity and innovation?
