Dean Kamen Innovation Quotations

To me, innovations are the wheel, fire, language, movable type. There are not 3 million innovations; there are 3 million inventions

In some cases, inventions prohibit innovation because we're so caught up in playing with the technology, we forget about the fact that it was supposed to be important.

An innovation is one of those things that society looks at and says, if we make this part of the way we live and work, it will change the way we live and work.

I consider high-speed data transmission an invention that became a major innovation. It changed the way we all communicate

I don't know what innovation is, but I can give a guide to rude realities and somewhat serious suggestions about innovation and how to approach it.

Innovation needs to be nurtured throughout an organization. Management is doing things right, whereas leadership is doing the right things.
