Within a given framework or theme, innovators seek new processes, methods, and dynamics that improve performance. Fundraising goals and accountability standards provide the framework in which innovation can occur. Variation and creativity within that framework improve performance.

Innovators think outside the box. They don't disregard the box, but they do recognize that "business-as-usual" solutions are no guarantee of future success. They think ahead and try to bring their organizations with them.

Creative destruction occurs every day in the business world, as old ideas and products give way to new innovations. Old processes are replaced by more efficient ones, and yesterday's blueprint for success becomes tomorrow's recipe for failure.

What is innovation? It might be survival.
