ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to present some ideas for individual creativity and innovation, and how it contributes to both personal and organizational excellence. It describes some descriptive models and the associated factors influencing individual innovation and creativity in an organization that is focused on achieving excellence in all that it does. In addition, job characteristics, for example the autonomy in ones work role, have been shown to be important predictors for individual innovation at the workplace. In many innovation-building environs, delivering training on multiple platforms, such as classroom, mobile, and on-demand, can help eliminate the time crunch for busy individuals involved with innovation. Many organizations have lots of ideas but there is a lot of innovation wastage due to poor management of innovation at the corporate level, especially in the selection, implementation, and deployment phases.
