Innovation Strategies
In today’s competitive world, success cannot come from merely aping successful policies; instead, it calls for innovative way of doing things and involves making revolutionary changes in thoughts and processes. Innovation is what sets an organization apart from the competition. It is the ability to perceive the world in new ways, to find hidden patterns and make connections between seemingly unrelated phenomena, and use these to generate new ideas, products, processes and services, or vastly improve their quality.
Innovation involves exploiting new technology and employing out-of-the-box thinking to generate new ideas. Innovation comes from a blend of minds and the collaboration of multi-discipline teams with different backgrounds. Innovation in an organization requires networking of individuals and departments; and even at an individual level.
It requires the networking of right and the left brain: right-brain for imagination, artistry and intuition, and left-brain for logic and planning. To create an ideal environment for innovation in organizations, we need open communication between people, mutual respect and a mindset that makes allowances for risk taking and failure.

Stamp Industry Innovation Leads to Environmentally Friendly Products
The marking device industry’s market share is micro-sized when compared to the massive business segments of related products that flood the media with endless innovations, one better than the last. Yet, since rubber stamps have such a broad use, rubber stamp manufacturers continue to look for ways to automate, innovate and supply consumers with the safest, earth friendly product available.
This has been an especially big time for the advancement of self-inking stamps. Long-time manufacturer Shiny recently introduced their Shiny Blue line. Shiny Blue is the first traditional self-inking stamp that uses recycled PET plastic. PET plastic is used to make most water and soda bottles and does not biodegrade well.
So, when you buy one stamp, you potentially prevent 1.5 water bottles from hitting a landfill. In addition, the finished plates are made with Low Emissions Manufacturing (LEM), which uses no water, no chemicals, has no odor and puts nothing down the drain.
