Innovation stumbled upon

is really what happens when we start solving some problem. We start with a goal to solve the problem in hand, but as and when other things unearth, we come to an understanding that the real problem is something else and we slowly move towards solving the REAL problem.

With historical innovations/innovators in mind, all too often real innovation is simply stumbled upon. When companies say, bring innovation, do innovation, be innovative, think innovation; the simple answer to that is innovation is stumbled upon and certainly, we don't start with innovation in mind, that's the most remarkable thing about innovation or creativity. There is no road to innovation (as in, there is no set path/procedure/instructions to innovation), that's what makes it cool.
