► Innovation involves system changes, R&D, and design.

Overall, this philosophical basis suggests that innovation and operations require different approaches, with innovation emphasizing creativity and adaptability, while operations emphasize efficiency and standardization. Leadership plays a crucial role in balancing these two aspects and leveraging AI as a tool to support both innovation and operational excellence.

Does this sound far-fetched? Take an example that affects all families. Children in daycare today are influenced by the operating perspectives. They do not become particularly curious and, in the long run, not particularly concerned with sustainability. They get used to submitting to central managers, standard arrangements, competitions and must become productive resources for society.

Children of the kindergartens of the future should be influenced by the innovation perspective. Then they become more curious and concerned about sustainability. They get used to taking responsibility for themselves, individual arrangements, collaboration and become effective resources for society.

What kind of children do we want for the future is the same as what kind of employees and managers do we want for the future?
