Innovation is generally understood as the successful introduction of a new thing or method. It is the embodiment, combination, or synthesis of knowledge in original, relevant, valued new products, processes, or services. Continuous innovation means modest, gradational, ongoing upgrades or enhancements of existing technologies or products and it generally does not fundamentally change the dynamics of an industry, nor does it typically require end users to change behavior. 
  Continuous Innovation Model  RIBO Continuous Innovation Model is based on the following philosophy: Innovative companies understand that individual or special programs such as continuous improvement, brainstorming sessions or creativity training do not make the organization innovative. Rather, the collection or portfolio of these initiatives, wrapped within a well supported climate of innovation, results in an organization loaded with skilled and passionate people who strive to make innovation a part of their daily mind set.
