Relentless Innovation

Jeff Bezos was doing an interview on how Amazon beat other companies? He answered saying that his secret was relentless innovation. What is innovation? Innovation is not a big vocabulary but it simply means change and doing things differently. The role of innovation is key because doing things the way we did will not bring different results.

The world is different and if you are not innovative, you will be left behind. It is now important to react to new change by increasingly discovering new things innovatively. Innovators do things differently and in the opposite get new opportunities. Innovation enhances our competitive advantage in the industry we serve through unique relentless innovation.
